Klopp on Liverpool's dramatic comeback 4-3 Fulham win

Sheffield United face their first Premier League outing since sacking manager Paul Heckingbottom and replacing him with Chris Wilder who returns to Bramall Lane to face Liverpool tonight.

The Blades continued their poor season by shipping five goals against Burnley results in Heckingbottom’s dismissal and they’ll be hoping to earn a bounce from bringing in a new manager.

Liverpool, meanwhile, clinched a seven-goal thriller against Fulham on Sunday with Trent Alexander-Arnold scoring an 88th minute goal to win the match 4-3. Jurgen Klopp will be hoping his team acan close out a more convincing win against the Blades, who are bottom of the table, as Liverpool attempt to keep up the pace with league leaders Arsenal.

A misplaced pass towards Elliott sees Nunez thwarted, after a charging run had opened up some space through the centre of Sheffield United's midfield. The substitute's touch has been lacking since arriving from the bench.

After a conference between Szoboszlai and Alexander-Arnold, the latter's free-kick delivery into the area is initially cleared away from danger, but Liverpool reclaim the ball and start to build more pressure. The Blades just cannot get out of their own half here.

From the left, Robinson hurls another long throw into the Liverpool area, but it bounces twice without a Sheffield United touch before being cleared to safety by the visitors.

GOOD SAVE! Alexander-Arnold slips a lovely low ball through to Nunez, who angles his run towards the right corner of the area. He fails to get enough height on his shot, though, and the on-rushing Foderingham makes another smart stop on the edge of his six-yard box!

Gakpo's chipped pass towards the right byline is too strong for Elliott, and the ball rolls frustratingly out of play. There's no doubt that Liverpool have been far from their fluent best - Klopp's touchline ranting would suggest that, too - but they still lead with less than 20 minutes of the 90 to play.
