Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League on Thursday night as they beat Sheffield United 3-1 at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp‘s side took control of the game via Darwin Nunez’s fortunate opener but they did not have it all their way.

The Reds are two points clear of second-placed Arsenal, while Manchester City are a point further adrift in third.

Arsenal and Man City are in action on Saturday as they have away games against Brighton and Crystal Palace respectively.

Liverpool meanwhile travel to face Man Utd at Old Trafford a couple of weeks after they lost 4-3 to Erik ten Hag’s side in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Winterburn has warned Liverpool that their matches against lowly opponents will be difficult as they will be “pumped up for the big games”.

“I disagree with the idea that Liverpool have the easiest run-in and that Manchester United look like the only team that they might slip up against,” Winterburn told NewBettingOffers.co.uk.
