Brighton vs Sheffield United odds
BRIGHTON VS SHEFFIELD UNITED
After such a strong start to the new Premier League season, Brighton have hit a slump. The Seagulls are winless in their last five away league games, losing two and drawing three. Across all competitions, they have won just four of their last 12 matches, but that does include the historic win over Ajax in Amsterdam in midweek. They’ll be hoping to use momentum from that victory to secure a win against Sheffield United to put their poor run behind them.
The Blades finally celebrated a Premier League win last weekend, beating Wolves for their first league victory of the season. It’s been a disastrous return to the Premier League for Sheffield United who still sit bottom of the table, with just four points from their opening 11 games. Although they are level on points with Burnley, they are behind on goal difference, thanks in part to 5-0 and 8-0 thrashings at the hands of Arsenal and Newcastle respectively.
