On Saturday, from 15:00 pm, Mikel Arteta continues his recovery work on his own field with Sheffield United. In the 23rd round of the Premier League, the “tuners” have a share of 1.90 that is worth watching, although the results of the “tuners” have been contradictory lately.
Last stage, Arsenal were fortunate to get a draw with Crystal Palace (1-1), although the match seemed as if they had won the “tuners”. Aubameyang scored and the red-whites withdrew, and Palace equalized unexpectedly and then the Gabonese striker was eliminated! As a result, he is suspended and joins the absent Chambers, Tierney, Bellerin, Kolasinac and Torreira.
Sheffield United is a team with a fairly simple game plan: “Steelers” are trying to physically set the pace, and the gleams of Mousset and his attacking colleagues guarantee 2-3 great opportunities per game. When Sheffield scores, it becomes very difficult to face, because it appears as an organized block, focused on one goal: protecting the square.
United are 6th (goals 24-21) and know how to fragment the match, which will be harder for Arsenal. The “tuners” are more technical and faster and can make a difference in balanced duels. Arsenal are in 10th place (goalkeeper 29-31) and are struggling to return to the top, and the positive atmosphere at the club can influence the results. Londoners have brilliant players, as can Pele, and the advantage of their own field should count.
Sheffield United have not lost on the borderlands this season, but, traditionally, Arsenal have a positive record in front of the newly promoted Emirates. Arteta’s team looked good in the victories with Manchester United (2-0) and Leeds (1-0) played at home and this will be seen with Sheffield. Last season, Chris Wilder’s team prevailed 1-0 in front of West Ham, after a show of devotion on the defensive. This will not be enough at the weekend!
