Premier League Review UK Arsenal Vs Sheffield United: The Gunners Favorite

JAKARTA Arsenal will play home games in the 10th week of the English Premier League 2023/2024 against Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium, Saturday, October 28, 2023.

Mikel Arteta's side have just returned from the successful European Champions League match in Sevilla. They managed to win 2-1 to take over the top of the group standings.

Meanwhile, The Blades lost the same score as they face Manchester United in last weekend's Premier League match at Bramall Lane.

Currently, the Gunners are in third place in the standings with 21 points. They are only two points adrift of their rivals with the London team, Tottenham Hotspur, who are at the top.

In their last five matches they won three and drew twice. One in three wins they won against defending champions Manchester City.

Arsenal is one of two teams that have not suffered a defeat so far. The team with a not-loss record are Spurs, who have collected seven wins and two draws from nine matches.

On the other hand, Sheffield United is still slumped at the bottom of the standings. They have so far only collected one point, which they got from the draw against Everton.

"Only getting one draw and having suffered eight defeats is clearly not a good asset when away to the Emirates on Saturday night."

Especially in the three latest meetings, Sheffield has always lost against Arsenal. In the 2020/2021 season, Arsenal won away and home wins over Sheffield United with a 5-1 aggregate score.

In addition, it has been 53 years since the Blades last defeated the Gunners in the British capital. At that time, they won a surprising 1-0 victory in Highbury.
