Arsenal-Sheffield United is a match of the tenth day of the Premier League and is played Saturday at 4 p.m.: TV, likely lineups, predictions.
A busy week comes to a close for Arsenal, who after the equalizer they reeled in at Stamford Bridge in the derby with Chelsea – in the last quarter of an hour first Rice and then Trossard cancelled out the double disadvantage and allowed the Gunners to avoid their first league defeat – went on to win at home to Sevilla (1-2) on the third day of the Premier League, returning to the top of the round and forgetting the unexpected setback with Lens twenty days earlier.
Another game of great suffering, with the Londoners in turn risking a comeback in the second half: they dropped in intensity and at the same time the Andalusians regained strength after shortening the gap with Gudelj. Qualification is not yet in the bag but Mikel Arteta’s men are on track to reach the goal even with a few rounds to spare. There is no time to catch their breath, however: Arsenal will be back on the field in Saturday’s Premier League match against Sheffield United. It’s a match on paper that is affordable, as Odegaard and his teammates will face what is so far the worst team in the tournament, pinned to last place in the standings and with only one point won in nine days.
Arsenal, on the other hand, slipped to second place after a draw with Chelsea, with their cousins Tottenham taking advantage to go +2 and take the top spot.

As for the Blades, the prohibitive engagements continue unabated: last Saturday for more than 70 minutes they held their own against Manchester United at Bramall Lane, only to cash in on the decisive goal with 10 minutes left. There are now five defeats in a row for Paul Heckingbottom’s men, a negative streak in which they have always conceded at least two goals. The situation is starting to get really complicated.

The prediction
Despite the probable absence of Gabriel Jesus – the Brazilian striker was injured in Sevilla – Arsenal should not commit any missteps against a Sheffield United so far disastrous and also struggling with injury problems in defense. A round success is likely for the Gunners, who are likely to score two to four goals.
The likely lineups for Arsenal-Sheffield United
- ARSENAL (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli.
- SHEFFIELD UNITED (4-4-2): Foderingham; Bogle, Trusty, Robinson, Thomas; McAtee, Souza, Norwood, Hamer; Archer, Brewster.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 3-0
