Arsenal vs Sheffield United Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Arsenal vs Sheffield United
England - Premier League
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2024
Starts at 14pm UK / 00pm CET
Venue: Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have been nearly unstoppable this new season and it looks like they're going for a podium. In fact, their only loss of 2024-21 in all competitions came against reigning PL champions Liverpool.

Despite the loss, the team split the rematch three days later. In their EFL Cup match, Mikel Arteta's men knocked out the Reds, and this was preceded by the Gunners winning the Community Shield against this same rival.

Probably the Gunners seem to be one of the most dangerous teams in England today.

Almost exactly the case with the Blades. After moving up to Division One the season before, Chris Wilder's men had a good season last year. But now it seems that luck has run out.

They have lost all three league games so far and, shamefully, are the only team to have yet scored their first goal this season.

Furthermore, Arteta's men also have an excellent h2h record against this opponent.

For the reasons, expect an Arsenal victory this Sunday.

Arsenal vs Sheffield United: head-to-head (h2h)

• The last time these two met on the field, the Gunners took a 1-2 road victory.
• They also recorded 11 of their previous 13 overall wins.
• Only once in the last 14 years have the Blades won a victory against this rival.
• No visitor has won at this stadium since 1990.
• The combined score of the last three games at this stadium is 10-1, in favor of the hosts.

Arsenal vs Sheffield United: Prediction

Arteta's men lost 3-1 away on the final day against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Wilder's charges lost 1-0 at home to newly promoted Leeds last week.

In fact, they haven't completely won the entire season in all competitions and are on a 100% losing streak in the league.

On the road, the last time they won a game was in February, and they had also lost six of their previous seven trips.

On the other hand, their opposite number have won nine of the ten previous meetings, and are also on a streak of seven consecutive home wins. In fact, their only defeat at this stadium in 2024 had come in the Europa League.

Finally, the Gunners also have a great h2h record against their rival and are undefeated in the Emirates since 1990 in these clashes.

With those observations in mind, expect Arsenal to win this Sunday.
