Arsenal vs Sheffield United Prediction and Betting Tips | October 28th 2023

Two sides who have had contrasting starts to the Premier League campaign lock horns on Saturday as Arsenal play host to Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium.

While the Blades set out in search of their first win of the season, Mikel Arteta’s side will be looking to return to the top of the league standings.

Arsenal moved to the top of Group B in the Champions League as they picked up a 2-1 victory over Spanish outfit Sevilla on Tuesday.

Arteta’s side now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against London rivals Chelsea on October 21 to maintain their unbeaten start to the league campaign.

With 21 points from nine matches, Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League table, level on points with Manchester City and two points behind first-placed Tottenham.

Sheffield United, on the other hand, failed to get their season up and running as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Manchester United last time out.

This was a fifth consecutive defeat for Paul Heckingbottom’s men, who have failed to taste victory across all competitions this season.

Sheffield United are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, having picked up just one point from their nine league outings.
