On the back of a tough 5-0 away defeat by Burnley, Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.  During that encounter they had 36% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 19 shots on goal.  

Having lost 17 goals in their past 6 matches, Heckingbottom will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 5 goals they scored.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games overall.  

With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.  They have certainly suffered from some poor form this season, having lost 11 matches from 14 in the league.

Last time out, Liverpool left content aftera 4-3 home win against Fulham  In that game they had 62% possession and managed 26 attempts on goal, with 12 on target, compared to Fulham who had 9 attempts and 5 on target.  

It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Jürgen Klopp will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 5 goals in the same period.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 24 games in a row.  

There will be mixed feelings from The Reds, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.  

Mohamed Salah will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Liverpool.
