Sheffield United at Arsenal 1/18/20 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

It is a wonder how Sheffield United are sitting above Arsenal in the Premier League standings this season, but this is the reality. The Gunners will now look to find some stability when they will host the newcomers on Saturday, but it won’t be easy.

Sheffield United (8-6-8) are coming into this match after a pretty slim 0-1 home win over West Ham last week, in a match where they scored the only goal at the 53rd minute. They are still going strong in this season, currently sitting at the 6th spot of the league table with 32 points, two behind Manchester United and seven behind Chelsea. Sheffield United have been really hard to beat on the road (3-2-6), with just two of those matches going Over 2.5 Goals.

Arsenal (6-6-10) played a really balanced, and quite uninspired, match on the road against Crystal Palace last week, where the two teams split the points in a 1-1 draw. Prior to that the Gunners had celebrated their first victory under coach Arteta when they beat Manchester United by 0-2 at home. But it’s their only league win in their last six (1-2-3). Arsenal are sitting at the 10th spot of the league table with 28 points, four behind Sheffield United. They have not been anything special at home so far in the season (4-3-4).

Sheffield United actually beat Arsenal by 0-1 at home in the first round and have been quite solid as hosts over the years (2-1-1). But they have struggled to get results in this venue (0-5-1) and Arsenal are hungry for points. The visitors are a really hard nut to crack so I’m backing them here.
