Liverpool will be without Joel Matip for their latest away trip to Yorkshire where they will face a familiar face in Chris Wilder with Sheffield United.

The Merseysiders have a five-point gap to the league leaders, Arsenal, to mow down and will need to make it six Premier League wins in a row against the Blades to do so.

Jurgen Klopp jokingly suggested he’d need to ‘bin our analysis’ following the change in management at Bramall Lane.
