After a perfect weekend, Liverpool must pick up three points against Sheffield United tonight to help continue their Premier League title push.
Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah handed Liverpool an important 2-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in their last outing, and with title challengers Arsenal and Manchester City drawing 0-0 later the same day, the Reds ended the week top of the Premier League table.

Liverpool struggled with away fixtures against newly-promoted teams last season, but the visit to Bramall Lane didn't prove an issue earlier in the season, with Jurgen Klopp's side winning 2-0 against the Blades thanks to goals from Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai.
