Where to watch Sheffield United vs Liverpool live stream, TV channel, lineups, betting odds for Premier League
Liverpool are strong favourites to earn their first win in five Premier League away games when they visit beleaguered Sheffield United on Wednesday.
The promoted Blades have made a miserable start to the season and are bottom of the table with one win from their first 14 league games, a run that has seen manager Paul Heckingbottom sacked. Liverpool, meanwhile, are four matches unbeaten in all competitions, winning three of those games, against Brentford, LASK and Fulham.
Their victory against the Cottagers at Anfield was a dramatic one, coming from behind to win 4-3 courtesy of Wataru Endo's 87th-minute equaliser and Trent Alexander-Arnold's winner a minute later.

Sheffield United vs Liverpool lineups, team news
Chris Basham, Rhian Brewster, Tom Davies, Daniel Jebbison and John Egan are all out for Sheffield United, while George Baldock is doubtful to add to the Blades' injury woes.
Rhys Norrington-Davies has been back in training but is yet to return and Oli McBurnie is suspended following his dismissal in their 5-0 defeat at Burnley on Saturday. New manager Chris Wilder may have some new ideas, of course, about how to line up his team.
Sheffield United starting lineup (3-4-3): Foderingham (GK) – Trusty, Robinson, Ahmedhodzic – Bogle, Souza, McAtee, Brooks – Archer, Hamer, Osula.
First-choice Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson will miss out again, with Republic of Ireland international Caoimhin Kelleher in line to cover for the first-choice Brazilian. Alisson is "closer" to a return according to Jurgen Klopp, but misses out here.
Joel Matip suffered a knee injury in the win over Fulham, with Klopp saying it "doesn't look good" for the Reds defender. Diogo Jota, Andrew Robertson, Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara all remain sidelined with various injuries, with Jota the nearest to fitness after returning to training.
Liverpool starting lineup (4-3-3): Kelleher (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Gomez — Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Endo — Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.
Sheffield United vs Liverpool prediction, odds
Liverpool have tended to struggle against promoted clubs, going winless in their last four such games, including a 1-1 draw at Luton Town in the most recent of them when their equaliser arrived in the 95th minute. There's also the new manager bounce factor that could come into it.
That said, Sheffield United's form would make it a brave call to back them for a positive result. Their only win of the season came at home to Wolves, but they have also lost five of their seven league games at Bramall Lane – including an 8-0 hammering by Newcastle United - and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup there by third-tier Lincoln City.
Prediction: Sheffield United 0-4 Liverpool
