Arsenal vs Sheffield United Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions
Wilder’s men ran out 1-0 winners in the reverse encounter and Al Hain-Cole expects them to frustrate the Gunners once again at the Emirates Stadium
Sheffield United will be hoping to complete their first top flight double over Arsenal since the 1946-47 season when they travel to the Emirates stadium for Saturday’s Premier League clash.
The Blades ran out 1-0 winners in October’s reverse encounter at Bramall Lane, but have lost eight and won none of their last nine away matches against this opposition.
Arsenal vs Sheffield United Latest Odds
Having lost fewer matches on the road this season than anyone but leaders Liverpool, they are available at 10/3 (4.33) with bet365 to leave north London with all three points.
Mikel Arteta’s men secured their first home win in seven matches by beating Manchester United 2-0 in their last match on home soil, and are 4/5 (1.80) favourites to make it two in a row here.
The 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace last weekend was a third in five league outings for the hosts, who can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) to play out another stalemate in this one.
Arsenal vs Sheffield United Team News
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is suspended after receiving a red card against Palace, while Calum Chambers, Kieran Tierney and Lucas Torreira are all injured and Hector Bellerin doubtful.
Reserve goalkeepers Simon Moore and Michael Verrips are the only injury concerns for the visitors.
Arsenal vs Sheffield United Preview
Having scored almost exactly half of his team’s Premier League goals so far this campaign, Aubameyang is likely to be sorely missed over the next three matches.
It will certainly not help in the Gunners’ efforts to break down a backline that has conceded the same number of goals as third-placed Leicester, with only Liverpool boasting a better defensive record.
Nevertheless, having kept clean sheets in their last two home matches, Arsenal should have less difficulty at the other end of the pitch against a Sheffield United team with only three goals to their name in the last five league fixtures.
Arsenal vs Sheffield United Tips and Predictions
Considering Chris Wilder’s team have seen under 2.5 goals in 15 of their last 18 league matches, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem well worth backing on them ensuring no more than two are scored when they take on the understrength hosts.
