Epl Weekend Games Predictions 2020
Liverpool go to the English Premier League’s bottom side Sheffield United for the Sunday night fixture, in the latest attempt to arrest their rotten run of form.
The Premier League champions can confidently be labelled ‘outgoing’ following a disastrous sequence of four consecutive EPL losses.
It was the most recent that smarted the most, too, with neighbours Everton jigging back across Stanley Park with all three points from the Merseyside Derby at Anfield.
Leicester, Manchester City and Brighton had already done likewise as the gloom mounts around Jurgen Klopp and his injury-hit charges.
The Reds are now sixth in the Premier League table at the start of the weekend, with Chelsea just above and Everton, who have a game in hand, just below and level on points.
Jordan Henderson becomes the latest addition to Klopp’s horror show of an injury list, joining long-term casualties including Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
Naby Keita made it as far as the bench last weekend as he nears a return to full fitness, while Diogo Jota is back in training as he prepares to freshen up a flagging front line.
Fabinho is a further doubt in defence, too, with Nathaniel Phillips likely to line up alongside rookie Ozan Kabak if he fails to make it.
Sheffield United thought they had turned a corner in their desperate scrap to beat relegation back to the Championship at the second time of asking.
But the Blades have lost three on the bounce again since their six-pointer success over drop rivals West Brom.
Chelsea, West Ham and Fulham are the London trio to have unleashed some capital punishment on Chris Wilder’s sorry side, who have just 11 points to show for their efforts so far this season.
It leaves them a frightening 14 points adrift of safety with 13 games left to play.
The South Yorkshire club also have a hefty injury list to contend with, as Jack O’Connell, Jack Robinson, John Egan and Sander Berge all miss out.
Chris Basham is also nursing a hamstring problem, although John Fleck seemed to make a successful return to the side after illness last time out.
