Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is not scared of losing but the quest to improve means he occasionally 'kills the mood' in his post-match debrief to players.
If the Reds avoid defeat against Sheffield United at Anfield they will have gone 12 months without losing a league match and former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger recently compared them to his 'Invincibles' side of the 2003-04 season.
Liverpool have won 17 consecutive league games at Anfield since Leicester came from behind to draw last January, their joint second-best such run at home in their history, and are unbeaten in 50 home league matches stretching back to April 2017.
