Arsenal should be expected to dominate this mismatch and beat Sheffield United by a scoreline of 0-4.
Gunners to fire against the Blades
Arsenal are an incredibly short odds favourite to be the winner of this fixture. However, the first of my tips is a selection which has won in five of their six league games in 2024.
Mikel Arteta has seen his side win all six of their Premier League fixtures since the start of the year, scoring 25 goals in the process. They also won the reverse 5-0. Meanwhile, Sheffield United have lost their last two home league games by that same scoreline.

Back bad boy Blades bookings
Similarly to the Premier League points table, these two sides are at the opposite ends of the disciplinary table. Only Chelsea have picked up more yellow cards than Sheffield United’s 73, as well as seeing four red. Meanwhile, Arsenal have only collected 39 bookings, the lowest of any side in the English top flight.
The Blades have had more players booked than their opponents in a league-high 16 of their 26 games and also a league-high eight of 13 home games. In the most recent head-to-head in October, United won the card count by 3-0.

Gabriel the set-piece target
Sheffield United are another side that are terrible at defending set pieces and aerial balls into their box. They come up against an Arsenal side here, who have scored a league-high 17 goals from set-pieces this season.
Last week, Jakub Kiwior headed home another wicked corner by Declan Rice in the 4-1 win over Newcastle. Looking at the stats, it is Gabriel Magalhães that is the biggest threat. He has scored four times in the last nine Premier League matches, but has had a shot on target in each of his last four league outings.

Saka the attacker to hurt Blades
Bukayo Saka is the in-form player in the Premier League right now. I have to end my predictions by backing him to score again here. The England international scored Arsenal’s third goal in the 4-1 defeat of Newcastle last weekend. This means he has now scored in five consecutive league games.
He has scored seven times in that sequence of games and now has 13 league goals for the season. Facing a Sheffield United side that have conceded a league-high 66 goals with 36 of those on home soil, he will fancy his chances of adding to his tally.
