Liverpool will be looking to maintain their perfect start to the season when they travel to newly-promoted Sheffield United on Saturday, a game LIVE on talkSPORT.
Jurgen Klopp’s men head to Bramall Lane on the back of a 2-0 win against MK Dons in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, the Blades lost 1-0 at home to Sunderland in the same competition with manager Chris Wilder expected to recall the vast majority of the 10 players he rested in midweek.
The pair last met 12 years ago and it was Liverpool who came out on top with Robbie Fowler scoring two first-half penalties in a 4-0 thrashing at Anfield.
After winning at Everton last weekend, Wilder’s men have the opportunity to record back-to-back league victories against Merseyside opposition.
Below, talkSPORT.com takes a look at how both sides could line up this weekend.
