Liverpool host Sheffield United on Saturday night in the Premier League.
The Reds were in Champions League action in midweek, beating Ajax, but have not won any of their past three domestic fixtures.
They remain without key defensive faces including goalkeeper Alisson, but stand-in centre-back Fabinho put in a strong performance in Europe to offer positivity about Liverpool’s chances of coping without Virgil van Dijk.
As for the Blades, they have taken only one point this season and need to pick up their form quickly if they are to avoid becoming dragged into a battle at the bottom all year.
