Sheffield United have not lost an away game since last January, but that extraordinary run will be severely tested this week. Chris Wilder’s side head to Anfield on Thursday, after taking on a City side still licking their wounds after the dramatic 3-2 defeat to Wolves. Ederson is suspended after his red card, meaning substitute Claudio Bravo will continue in goal. These two teams have not met since 2008, when a rogue balloon helped the Blades to an FA Cup fourth-round win. Niall McVeigh
