ChelseaThe final games on the midweek English Premier League coupon take place on Thursday when Liverpool host Sheffield United and Chelsea are at home to Manchester United

 

 

 

Liverpool 1/10 Draw 11/1 Sheffield United 24/1

 

Sunday was a good day for Liverpool who came from behind to win 2-1 at home to Brighton before their title rivals Man City and Arsenal played out a 0-0 draw. Those results saw Liverpool take over at the top of the table, 2 points clear of Arsenal and 3 better off than City although the Gunners and City are both in action on Wednesday. Klopp's team have won 12, drawn 3 and have yet to be beaten at home this season with both Manchester clubs and Arsenal the teams to have taken a point from their visits to Anfield.

 

Sheffield let a 3-1 lead slip at home to Fulham at the weekend, conceding twice from the 86th minute onwards and the game finished 3-3. With 15 points, at the time of writing they are 7 from safety although they have played a game less than other clubs in the relegation battle and with a full midweek coupon the picture will have changed come matchday.

 

The Verdict

 

I'll head to the home team total goals market and look for 4 or more. Goal difference could yet be a factor in the title race and Arsenal fare best of the contenders in that regard. With that in mind if / when Klopp's team have secured a comfortable lead, they may show no mercy to Sheffield.

Chelsea 53/50 Draw 31/10 Manchester United 89/38

 

Chelsea led twice at home to 10 man Burnley last time out but had to settle for a 2-2 draw and their supporters were far from happy. They remain in mid table and with an FA Cup semi final to look forward to but other than the performance of Cole Palmer who scored twice at the weekend there was little else to shout about.

 

United scored late and conceded even later in a 1-1 draw at Brentford at the weekend. They finished the round in sixth place, 6 points behind fifth placed Spurs and 9 shy of fourth placed Villa. United are also in the FA Cup semi finals but they have only won 1 of their last 4 league games

 

 

The Verdict

 

I find it tough to predict what to expect from both of these teams so I'll just take a speculative nibble at the draw at what I consider to be a value price.
