Liverpool will be confident of extending their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season when they face Sheffield United this afternoon.
Sunday's narrow win over Chelsea made it six from six as they maintained their five-point lead at the top of the table.
With Manchester City not in action until the evening, the Reds can make another statement with three more points on Saturday lunchtime.
Sheffield United won in Merseyside last time out, beating Everton for their first away win in the Premier League since December 2006, and now face an entirely different prospect.
