Seeking to snap a three-game winless run on the road, Liverpool head to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
The Reds made it 11 wins from 11 home games this season in incredible fashion at the weekend, defeating Fulham 4-3 thanks to a Bernd Leno own goal and three stunning strikes from Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
With Manchester City being held to a draw by Tottenham Hotspur later in the day, Liverpool enter the midweek round of matches occupying second place in the table, two points worse off than leaders Arsenal.
