Sheffield United vs Liverpool Key Stats

The Blades come into this one off the back of a shocking 5-0 defeat to fellow relegation battlers Burnley last weekend, a result that saw Paul Heckingbottom become the first Premier League manager to be sacked in 2023/24.

Thanks to that result, Sheffield United head into the gameweek four points from safety at the bottom of the table, meanwhile Liverpool occupy second place after beating Fulham last time out.

Jurgen Klopp’s side didn’t make it easy for themselves though, as they trailed 3-2 with 10 minutes remaining at Anfield. Luckily for them though, Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold popped up with late goals to turn the game on its head and rescue a vital three points on Merseyside.

Sheffield United Have Failed To Score In Four Of Their Last Five Meetings

Liverpool and Sheffield United’s last five meetings in the top flight date all the way back to February of 2007, and of those five meetings the Blades have scored on just one occasion.

The South Yorkshire side have failed to score in six matches already this term, most recently failing to put one past Burnley’s James Trafford, and based on their previous results against Liverpool – that figure may well rise to seven on Wednesday.

Despite that, the Blades have a fairly decent record this term in scoring against teams in the top half of the table – netting against the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham and Brighton.

Liverpool Have A Poor Record Against Newly-Promoted Sides Away From Home

The Reds are in excellent form heading into gameweek 15 with just one loss in their last 12 matches, but regardless of how well they’re playing – it doesn’t seem to help them when facing a newly-promoted side away from home.

Shockingly, they are without a win at the home of a newly-promoted side in the league since beating Watford 5-0 back in October 2021, most recently being held to a 1-1 draw by Luton at Kenilworth Road.

Of their last four away trips to face newly-promoted sides, they have earned just two points. It’ll take something incredibly special to secure a positive result against Liverpool, but these statistics will breed a glimmer of hope into the suffering Blades fans amid the chaos at Bramall Lane as of late.
