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.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below:

Liverpool may have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League away games, but they’re also winless in their last four. Klopp will be keen to close this one out, as dropping points here could prove a costly slip-up in the title race.

Konate takes a slight blow to the head, causing a brief delay, but the French defender is soon fit enough to continue and the game goes on, moving closer towards its conclusion.

Salah's throughball for Jones on the right is delayed just too long, and the latter is caught narrowly offside. It looks like Liverpool are going to make a couple of changes now.

Mirroring events in the first half, Liverpool have had a 79 per cent share of possession since the interval - but they've yet to find a decisive second goal. Until they do, a flicker of hope remains for the hosts.

Supporting his back three, Bogle chases back and halts an incisive sprint down the left flank by Diaz, who is on the brink of United's box. That's excellent defending from the wing-back.

For the third time today, Mac Aliister drops to the deck, and it looks like the Liverpool midfielder cannot continue. He took a heavy blow during the first half, and it seems to have taken its toll.
