Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of rock-bottom Sheffield United’s clash with out-of-form champions, Liverpool. Can the Blades add to Jurgen Klopp’s woes by keeping their slim survival hopes alive with a shock win? Or will the Merseysiders get their top four bid back on track? Kick off 19.15 GMT.

STAT: Sheff United have only kept one league clean sheet this season.

That is the biggest criticism of Firmino's game. He's clear there and needs to be deadly. Too often his finishing lets him down.

WHAT A SAVE! Aaron Ramsdale produces a stunning stop to keep out Firmino's low strike after the Brazilian had raced clear following a fortunate ricochet.

STAT: Liverpool haven't managed a shut out in seven away matches and have conceded 13 goals in that time.

SAVE! Adrian has his palms stung by McGoldrick's firm header from the resulting free kick delivery. Replays suggest he was probably offside, but Adrian didn't know that.

Phillips makes a silly challenge on McGoldrick on the far right. Free kick to the hosts in a dangerous position.

Liverpool are looking lively in the early exchanges. Plenty of hungry blocks from Klopp's men.

Will Mane make his mark on an important night and cap the 150 milestone in style?

Head to head in the league at Sheffield United: Liverpool 18 wins, United 27 wins, 15 draws. /// Overall: Liverpool 58 wins, United 36 wins, 27 draws.

KICK OFF! Sheff United get us underway.

Liverpool are bidding to avoid losing five back-to-back top-flight league games for the first time since September 1953.

DID YOU KNOW? All seven of McGoldrick's career Premier League goals have been scored against the established top-six sides.

Chris Wilder on hoping to move on from his November spat (over the number of PL substitutes allowed) with Jurgen Klopp: "The relationship is absolutely fine. I've got nothing but admiration for Jurgen, he's a top-class manager. He's an incredibly talented manager, he's a winner and we all try to win. He has done that in incredible fashion."

As we build up to this one, why not catch up on some of the latest gossip relating to transfer rumours? Liverpool featured in one of our recent Euro Papers videos.

Andy Robertson: “Obviously we have lost a lot of key players in key positions, and it has really been tough to adapt. But we get paid to play and paid to do what we do, and we need to get back to doing it to the highest level possible. I’m determined to do that and so are the rest of the lads that are fit and still able to play.”

Jurgen Klopp: "I don't think it is time for a massive rebuild like how I understand it: six, seven out, running contracts but trying to get rid of them and bring in all the new faces. The squad of this year didn't have the chance to play together one time really. I think it would make sense to have a look at that but on top of that, of course little readjustments will happen.”

A side-note ahead of the action - Lee Mason has been replaced as the fourth official for this clash; a day after being involved in a hugely controversial incident.

David McGoldrick on former Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster – on the bench tonight - who has yet to net a PL goal for the Blades: “He’s 20, he’s not fully developed yet. The club are working hard with him in the gym and in training, getting him used to how we play, and the physical aspect of it…. There is not a better finisher I’ve seen at 20 and when he starts hitting the net, he won’t stop.”

Sheffield United make two changes too. Oliver Norwood replaces the injured Chris Basham and David McGoldrick comes in for Billy Sharp.

Liverpool make two changes from their 2-0 loss at home to Everton. Diogo Jota's long-awaited comeback has been delayed due to illness.
