Recent home/away form

Liverpool

Liverpool's home form has been exceptional, with a strong run of five wins and one draw in their last six matches at Anfield. The team has scored an impressive 19 goals in these games, averaging 3.17 goals per game, while only conceding 5, resulting in a goal difference of 14. Liverpool's attacking prowess is evident, with 80% of their home games featuring over 2.5 goals.

They have not managed to secure consecutive victories on the road, but they did experience a run of three consecutive away defeats between December 30th and February 25th. However, the Blades have shown their ability to find the back of the net, scoring an impressive 4 goals in their FA Cup win against Gillingham. Their most recent away match, a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, was a high-scoring affair, contributing to the fact that 70% of their last 6 away games have seen over 2.5 goals.
