Liverpool need a big result against rock-bottom Sheffield United as Premier League fixtures return this weekend.

The Reds have slid to sixth following four defeats on the bounce, level on points with Everton, and could fall further in the coming weeks as sides below continue to gain.

It remains unknown whether Alisson Becker will feature in the game following the death of his father in a drowning incident in Brazil.

Sheffield United remain rooted to the foot of the table following three defeats in a row and know they face a mountain to climb if they are to haul themselves even close to survival.

The Blades are a huge 14 points away from Newcastle in 17th and their chances of one of the greatest ever escapes in Premier League history remain close to zero.

Our prediction: Sheffield United v Liverpool

Liverpool are almost impossible to predict at the moment. It's just so difficult to look at Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane leading the line and say: "yeah, I think those guys are in trouble against bottom of the league Sheffield United" yet, here we are.

It's fair to say the spine of Liverpool's team has been bent and broken out of all reasonable shape, but individual quality should still shine through in games, particularly ones such as this.

Chris Wilder will encourage his Sheffield United squad to get stuck into the makeshift defence at all times, but ultimately, quality should prevail. It should.

Our prediction: Sheffield United 1-2 Liverpool (8/1 at bet365)
