Sheffield United vs Arsenal Prediction & Match Preview

• Arsenal travel to Bramall Lane on the back of six straight Premier League wins.
• Sheffield United conceded five goals in each of the previous three home outings across competitions.
• Bukayo Saka notched seven goals in his last five Premier League appearances.

Arsenal will continue their pursuit of Manchester City and Liverpool in the battle for the Premier League throne on Monday evening. They head over to Bramall Lane to tackle the rock-bottomed Sheffield United in the last match of Gameweek No 27.

The Gunners enter the tie as enormous favourites based on everything we’ve seen from the two teams so far in the season. The gulf in quality has been particularly expressed in recent weeks. Mikel Arteta’s men are flying high with a thread of six subsequent league wins. They are now only two points shy of leaders Liverpool and one point behind Manchester City in second place.

The story is completely opposite with Sheffield United. They hold the very foot of the league table and only a miracle can now prevent their immediate return to the Championship football. The Blades boast the division’s worst attacking and defensive record at the same time with the goal difference of 22-66 after 26 rounds of the competition.

Recent Meetings

Head-to-head tradition can hardly help Sheffield United. Arsenal enter this on the back of four consecutive wins in this matchup.

The Gunners bagged eight unanswered goals past Sheffield United in the last two H2H encounters. The run involves a 5-0 drubbing in October last year at Emirates Stadium.

We’ve seen at least three goals in each of the previous four head-to-head clashes between these rivals.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal Prediction

With 66 goals conceded in 26 outings, Sheffield United boast one of the worst defensive records in the history of the English top flight at this stage of the season. The Blades shipped five goals in each of the previous three home outings across competitions. They are now up against a free-scoring Arsenal side. The visitors notched 15 goals in the last three league wins over West Ham, Burnley, and Newcastle. We can hardly imagine any other scenario but a commanding victory for Mikel Arteta’s troops on Monday night. You can back the visitors to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end at the 1.61 odds.

Bukayo Saka has been one of the main catalysts to Arsenal’s growth in form in recent weeks. The English winger bagged seven goals in his previous five Premier League appearances. He was obviously on target in the 4-1 thumping of Newcastle last Saturday in North London. We see great value in backing Saka to score anytime past one of the worst defensive lines in the history of the Premier League at the 2.25 odds.
