Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield United Prediction
Brighton & Hove Albion are currently seventh in the league and have not won any of their last five league games. They are six points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, and the Seagulls will need to get back to winning ways soon if they aim to replicate, and even better, their incredible season last time around.
Roberto De Zerbi has deservedly been praised for his work at the club, and has been touted as a potential Manchester United or Manchester City manager. However, his current club has shown signs of weaknesses this season.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, are 20th in the league, having lost nine of their first 11 league games. They are two points behind 17th-placed Luton Town, and given their poor start to their league campaign, the Blades have been touted as potential relegation candidates.
However, the win against Wolves could be what is needed to kickstart their campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion should be able to emerge victorious here.
