The last time Liverpool crossed blades with Sheffield United, something very strange happened.
And should Liverpool find themselves in a losing position, they are going to have to remember what made them such monstrous opponents in recent years.
Liverpool, as they had shown over two legs in the Champions League semi-final to Barcelona the previous season, rarely believed they were out of a match.
Yet in the 14 games in which Liverpool have been losing this season - including the Community Shield defeat on penalties to Arsenal - the only other time they have rescued at least a point was the 3-1 Premier League win over the Gunners in September.
Rock-bottom Sheffield United, with boss Chris Wilder surely relishing the prospect of putting one over his Anfield counterpart given their spats earlier in the season, would love nothing more than to further deepen the gloom for the Premier League champions next weekend.
And not the VAR decision that curiously awarded a penalty for the visitors after only 13 minutes.
Their season may well depend on it.
