View from Anfield: Can Sheffield United spring a surprise this weekend against European champions Liverpool at Bramall Lane - and do Reds believe Blades can survive in the Premier League?
To get the view from the opposition camp we asked Henry Jackson, of This Is Anfield, for the lowdown on Jurgen Klopp’s men – and how the Reds view the Blades.
How do you rate Liverpool's start to the season?
In terms of the Premier League, it really couldn't have been much better, considering the 100 percent start.

Hide AdLiverpool look so in control of almost every game they play, with world class players littered all over the pitch, and they have done brilliantly in the absence of Alisson, who is the best goalkeeper in the world in my opinion.
Jurgen Klopp has built a winning mentality that is now priceless, with the Reds winning games they simply wouldn't have done in the past.
To have a five-point lead over Manchester City is a wonderful position to be in - they actually have more points than them since the start of last season - and it's fully merited.
Can they win the title after all this time?
I'm a Liverpool fan, so it's fair to say predicting a Premier League title win can make you look foolish!

I personally think City still have the edge, and are marginally the better side, but current signs suggest Liverpool are the team to beat,
What will be your side's main threats?
I could try and be a bit edgy and go with someone else, but it's obvious that Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are the greatest threat to Sheffield United on Saturday.
They are the best attacking unit in world football, and if one or even two don't find their best form, the other will put on a show.
