With the Premier League title within their grasp, Liverpool will return to Anfield on Wednesday for the first time in 110 days, but their hopes of ending a 30-year wait for the title will depend on Manchester City dropping points at Chelsea.
City's strength in depth was on show as Pep Guardiola made eight changes for their 5-0 thrashing of Burnley on Monday, and they are expected to make several changes for the stiffer test of Chelsea, who will be looking to cement their place in the top four.
Frank Lampard's men came from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 on Sunday to open up a five-point lead over Manchester United and Wolves, and Lampard said: 'Now we have three points when some teams have lost points around us.'
Manchester United, meanwhile, are in pole position to take advantage of City's punishment and made an impressive return despite being held to a 1-1 draw at Tottenham on Friday. Paul Pogba won the penalty, converted by Bruno Fernandes, for United's equaliser on his first appearance since December 26 as a substitute.
United are expected to pair Pogba and Fernandes together from the start for the first time against Sheffield United on Wednesday, and the Blades have taken just one point from their opening two games of the restart, but can still move above the Red Devils with victory at Old Trafford.
