Sheffield United hosts Arsenal in round 31 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, April 11th at Bramall Lane (Sheffield)
If Sheffield United pleasantly surprised and almost got in the European Cups in the previous season, then the current Premier League draw brought a very sad situation. Chris Wilder had been at the helm of the team for five years. But after the deterioration of the results, the club's management decided to say goodbye to the 53-year-old specialist. Temporarily his place was taken by Paul Hackingbottom, but the situation has not improved. Under the new coach, the Blades lost three matches in a row with a total score of 1-9. There are eight rounds left until the end of the 2020/21 season, and 15 points separate Sheffield from the saving place. Given the quality of the game, the situation is unlikely to be rectified.

Arsenal is going through hard times. The club's management trusts the young coach Mikel Arteta, but only one question remains open - when will the Londoners' bosses run out of patience? The Gunners cannot rise above the 10th place in the Premier League standings. A winless streak in all tournaments lasts four matches. In the previous round of the English Premier League, Arsenal lost at home to Liverpool, which has big problems in defense (0-3). The situation is deplorable, since the Londoners delivered only one shot on target in each half, while Aubameyang, Lacazette, Odegaard, and Pepe were on the field.
Sheffield United is hopeless. Just look at the team's statistics: four victories, two draws and 24 (!) defeats. The club has been in the relegation zone for a long time, and despite being extremely high motivation, the players cannot help losing at least two games in a row. Arsenal now has a chance to win, as the opponent's level is right to complete the task. The Gunners know how to beat the Blades, as they did it twice in 2020. Both the cup game and the first head-to-head match of the English Premier League ended in favor of the Londoners with the same score of 2- 1. We will add that the hosts have a lot of injured players: four players are in the infirmary, and three more are in question for the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win
