Sheffield Utd vs Liverpool: Prediction, tickets, live stream, TV, team news, h2h - Premier League 2019 preview

Liverpool will be confident of extending their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season when they face Sheffield United on Saturday.

Sunday's narrow win over Chelsea made it six from six as they maintained their five-point lead at the top of the table.

With Manchester City not in action until the evening, the Reds can make another statement with three more points on Saturday lunchtime.

Sheffield United won in Merseyside last time out, beating Everton for their first away win in the Premier League since December 2006, and now face an entirely different prospect.

Alisson Becker and Xherdan Shaqiri are still sidelined, but Sadio Mane has shaken off a thigh injury to start for Liverpool - and Divock Origi is also available.

Sheff Utd XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O'Connell, Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, Stevens, McBurnie, Robinson

Liverpool XI: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Firmino
