Sheffield United vs Arsenal Prediction, Lineups, Results & Betting Tips

Arsenal take on Sheffield United on Monday night as they look to keep the pressure on Liverpool and Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title. Arteta’s side are full of confidence

Sheffield United vs Arsenal Stats

• Sheffield United are conceding 2.54 goals per game, which means they have the worst defensive record in the league this season.
• The Blades are conceding 2.77 goals per home game and have kept just one clean sheet at Bramall Lane all season.
• Arsenal are scoring an average of 2.38 goals per game in the Premier League, more than any other side.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal Prediction

Sheffield United were unable to build on their win over Luton at Kenilworth Road in February so their days in the Premier League are numbered. Chris Wilder will be keen to see his side deliver some performances the fans can be proud of in the closing months of the season but he will harbour very little hope of his side avoiding the drop.

The Blades suffered a 1-0 defeat against Wolves in their last match.  They were on the receiving end of a 5-0 hammering in their last match at Bramall Lane. Sheffield United will expect to come under the cosh once again when they take on Arsenal.

The Gunners are right in the thick of the title race as they look to end their long wait to lift the trophy.  Arteta’s side led the way for large periods of last season but came unstuck in the final months. They need to finish strongly this time around if they are to finish Pep and Jurgen’s sides.

Arsenal have hit another gear in their recent Premier League matches. They have won their last six, scoring an average of 4.17 goals per game over that period.  The Gunners will fancy their chances of scoring another hatful when they take on a Sheffield United side that sits dead last in the table.

Arteta’s men were dominant in their last match against Newcastle. They restricted Eddie Howe’s side to just three attempts in that match. Arsenal’s defence has been a key factor in their success this season and their ability to control possession has made them a formidable foe.

I’m backing the home side to have under 8.5 shots in the match with Unibet. Sheffield United are averaging 9.21 attempts per Premier League game in this campaign, fewer than any other side. They are likely to be starved of the ball here so it should be one-way traffic.

The Gunners are conceding the fewest shots of any side in away Premier League matches this season with an average of 9.62 per game. The acquisition of Declan Rice has given them real stability in midfield.

Arsenal have played six league matches in 2024 and have an xGA of just 1.9. That’s over three times better than Manchester City’s defence over that period, who rank 2nd in that regard. Arteta’s side are conceding 7.83 shots per game during that run but I’m expecting fewer against a lacklustre Sheffield United.

The Blades had just two attempts as they lost 5-0 to Arsenal earlier this season. This bet also won the last time these teams went head-to-head at Bramall Lane.

Sheffield United had just six shots in their home matches against Arsenal’s title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City. They also had six shots in their recent loss to Brighton.
