Premier League leaders Liverpool will endeavour to boost their title hopes when they welcome basement club Sheffield United to Anfield on Thursday night.

The Merseysiders are looking to put the Blades to the sword for the second time this season after claiming a 2-0 victory at Bramall Lane four months ago.

We say: Liverpool 5-1 Sheffield United


Sheffield United have laced their shooting boots in their last two matches and will fancy their chances of finding the net against a leaky Liverpool backline that has kept just one clean sheet in their last eight Premier League games and have conceded the first goal in 13 top-flight matches so far this season.

However, the Blades scoring early could poke the bear and spark a rampant Merseyside onslaught in front of a fired-up Anfield crowd. We expect Klopp's side to run away with a comfortable victory and head into the weekend at the summit.

Two faltering Premier League giants under immense pressure and at risk of failing to achieve their respective European targets will lock horns on Thursday night, as Chelsea play host to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

The West Londoners will be seeking revenge against the Red Devils after they lost 2-1 in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in December.

We say: Chelsea 2-2 Manchester United


Although Man United may boast the psychological edge considering their recent record against Chelsea, there is little to separate these two under-performing and defensively vulnerable teams heading into Thursday's showdown.

Neither side can afford to drop too many more points heading down the home straight, but considering five of the last seven top-flight meetings between the two clubs have ended all square, the points could be shared once again in a closely-fought contest this time around.
