Injury Depleted Liverpool Seeks to Retake PL Top Spot

Liverpool will look to retake the lead in the English Premier League when they welcome struggling Sheffield United to Anfield, this afternoon at 1:30, but Jurgen Klopp will once again have to make do without several key first-team players.

Andrew Robertson, Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out injured.

As many as nine members of the first-team squad could be unavailable.

Meanwhile, an intriguing battle takes centre stage at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea play host to Manchester United.

Both Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag are under immense pressure to turn their club’s fortunes around as they endeavour to meet their respective European targets with just nine games left to play.

Just a solitary point was claimed by both clubs against relegation-threatened teams last weekend, with Chelsea pegged back twice to draw 2-2 at home to 10-man Burnley, a few hours before Man United conceded in the 99th minute to draw 1-1 at Brentford.
