Klopp’s men have made a habit of starting quickly, and Al Hain-Cole expects them to waste little time in getting on top against the Blades
Sheffield United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome Liverpool to Bramall Lane on Saturday.
The Blades are unbeaten in three previous Premier League home games against this opposition, although the last of those games was back in 2006.

Liverpool vs Sheffield United team news
Billy Sharp will serve the final game of his three-match suspension, while David McGoldrick is touch and go to recover from the groin injury that kept him out of last weekend’s win over Everton.
Alisson, Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi are unlikely to feature as they continue to recover from injury, although Sadio Mane should be fit to return after missing Wednesday’s EFL Cup clash with MK Dons due to a minor knock.
Liverpool vs Sheffield United preview
The Reds have certainly picked up where they left off last season, wasting little time in securing win after win in the league.
Indeed, they have been leading at half-time in all six of their victories this campaign, scoring 12 of their 17 goals before the break.
In contrast, Chris Wilder’s team has only found the net in the first half once in their six league matches, and lost three of their last four fixtures on home turf.

All things considered, odds of 1.91 look like solid value on Liverpool coming out on top after leading at the break for the 10th league game in a row.
