# Liverpool fans delighted to see Keita starting against Sheffield United

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool side to face Sheffield United this evening, and plenty of fans are particularly delighted to see one man in the line-up.

Naby Keita has been given the nod by German to take on the Blades following an impressive run of form.

Liverpool will be looking to build on their lead at the top of the Premier League table but will know that Sheffield United present a challenge at Anfield.

Either way, these Reds supporters can’t wait to see Keita in action once again…

### Read Liverpool’s verdict

Keita has come into his own of late, and it is good to see him living up to the expectations that were set upon his arrival from RB Leipzig.

The midfielder has been a rotational option since his move to Anfield, but his value is becoming more and more clear as the games pass by.

Keita will face a difficult game, however, with Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United side certainly no pushovers.
