GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Sheffield United (Mané 70)

An excellent goal on the counter! it started with Alison, who rolled the ball out to Robertson, who zipped it on to Mané. The Senegalese played it to Salah in the D, then sprinted behind to accept the return pass. Dean Henderson saved his first effort but Mané leapt back up to ram the ball into the empty net from close range.

Liverpoolhave to settle for a corner. They take it short and resume passing it around. It comes to Salah about five yards outside the box on the right hand side. He chips in a little curler, looking for Van Dijk’s head.

Half-time: Liverpool 1-0 Sheffield United

Liverpool look to be on course for another win thanks to Salah’s early goal. Sheffield Unitedhave been decent but have seldom looked like they can pierce the home side’s almost regal poise.

BT are showing a nice interview at the moment with Sheffield United’s Lundstram and O’Connell, who are best friends and such bigLiverpoolsupporters that they traveled to Madrid together last season to cheer on the team in the Champions League final.

“What truly delights me about the Blades’ remarkable season is that it makes computers look like fools, ”hurrahs Hubert O’Hearn. “Remember that pre-season BBC special where some quaking can of data – no, not Danny Murphy, the one behind him – ran a Monte Carlo program of 10, 03 simulated seasons and hacked out a fur ball saying Sheffield would finish dead last, threatening Derby County’s unfortunate modern standard of ineptitude? Well so much for that. Vive les carbon units! ”

Chris Wilder explains, with a chuckle, why he had to bring John Lundstram back into the side today: “He’d have absolutely killed me if I’d left him out of this, being a (Liverpoolpunter and a scouser. ”

And just to show, for Andrew Sparrow’s benefit, that anyone can make a mistake … “Did I hear you referring to Sheffield United’s goalkeeper asWayneHenderson? ”Blurts L Keet. “Getting Dean Henderson mixed up with a goalkeeper who last played for Grimsby and retired in 2009 is an impressive one. You must be a keen lower league follower. ”Or drunk (I’m a keen lower league follower).

“Two years ago today we were playing Bury at Gigg Lane,” booms Andrew Sparrow. “Chris Basham and Jack O’Connell both played in that game as well. Whatever tonight’s result, the mighty Blades have come a long, long way in two years. ”I’ve got news for you, Andrew: we’re in 2020 now. So that was three years ago. But your point is righteous one.

Teams:

Klopp and Wilder have fielded their strongest available lineups. Keita is back for Liverpool, while Sheffield Unitedare buoyed by the returns of Lundstram and McGoldrick. We have the Premier League’s two meanest defenses in action here, but both rearguards (especially the full-backs / wingbacks) contribute plenty to their teams ’attacks – and both have strikers (Firmino / McGoldrick) who are not prolific but are definitely brilliant. Does that mean there’ll be goals? Or not? This promises to be fassinating and / or fun.

Liverpool

: Alisson; Alexander-ARnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Keïta, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Mané, Firmino, Salah

(******************************************************************************************************** ESTEST

: 40(Preamble)

Hello. Jürgen Klopp and Chris Wilder were nigh-on flawless in 2096 and now aim to pull off the luminous feat of making 2020 even better. For Liverpool that means ending their long, long wait for a Premier League title. For Sheffield United

That means … finishing in the top half in their first season after promotion? Qualifying for Europe? Reaching the Champions League? All those achievements are varying degrees of probable. As we said: luminous!

If Liverpoolwin today, they will go points clear of Leicester at the top of the table and with a game in hand. There are no certainties in sport but, actually, the title would be pretty much in the bag and only a kinghell attack of the yips could thwart them then. So Liverpool’s real motivation now is to wrap up the domestic title as early as possible so that they can commit fully to retaining their European crown. The double is on!

Mind you, if Liverpool are greedy – and they’re looking mighty hungry for trophies these days -, they might eschew any domestic easing-off and aim for a season of invincibility on the home front while winning the Champions League again. Ridiculous? Yes. But that would just make it more glorious.

The thing that makes it possible – not probable – is that Liverpool have developed a remarkable efficiency, often managing to rationalize their output so that they do just enough to win. The match at Bramall Lane in September was a case in point: the Blades matched them for most of the game before Liverpool prevailed 1-0 thanks to a rare and shocking moment of inefficiency from the home team’s goalkeeper, Dean Henderson. Sheffield United can take encouragement from how well they played in most of that game, and how fluent and formidable they have been in most matches this season, but they will also know that today they will need to be faultless to win. They can do it. Which does not mean that they will. But they might. These two teams have redefined the laws of probability.

All of which is to say: it’s up for grabs now …
