ARSENAL VS SHEFFIELD UNITED
Having rescued their unbeaten start to the season with two late goals from Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard to earn a 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend, Arsenal will be hoping to get back to winning ways against a Sheffield United side that currently sit rock bottom of the Premier League table. The Gunners go into the weekend’s matches in third, level on points with Man City in second and are looking to record consecutive home clean sheets in the league for the first time since December 2021, after their 1-0 win against Man City before the international break.
As for Sheffield United, they’ve endured a wretched return to the Premier League so far, sitting bottom of the table with just a single point to their name. The Blades join Bournemouth as the only remaining sides without a win, while they’re currently enduring a five-game losing run which includes that 8-0 humiliation at home to Newcastle United. Things don’t get any easier for them this weekend, as they head to an Arsenal side that are unbeaten in their last 36 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W31 D5) and unbeaten their last 18 home games against the Blades (W13 D5).
