Preview: Sheffield United vs. Arsenal - Team news and prediction.

It hasn't been a season of many success stories for Sheffield United in this year's Premier League, as they currently sit at the bottom of the league with 13 points and a considerable 11-point gap to safety. With only 3 wins, they, along with Burnley, appear to be secure relegation candidates. On paper, it also doesn't look like there will be any points gained in tonight's match as they face Arsenal, currently the most in-form team in the league.

Arsenal has not only won their last 6 Premier League matches, but they have also been dominant against their opponents, scoring an impressive 25 goals, averaging 4.16 goals per game in their six recent matches. Manchester City and Liverpool, as expected, secured 3 points over the weekend. Therefore, Arsenal needs to win tonight to maintain their status quo in a tightly contested battle for the championship.

Team news: 
Sheffield United will be without Daniel Jebbison, Cameron Archer, Anis Ben Slimane, Chris Basham, John Egan, Max Lowe, and Rhys Norrington-Davies for tonight's match due to injuries and illness. Mason Holgate remains suspended.

Jurrien Timber is the only long-term injury concern, while there is uncertainty surrounding Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu, both of whom are doubtful for the match. Partey is expected to return to the squad for Arsenal, but he is likely to be on the bench along with Gabriel Jesus, who is not yet ready for a starting position. 

Sheffielld expected lineup:
Grbic; Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, Trusty; Baldock, Hamer, Souza, McAtee, Larouci; Brereton Diaz, Brewster. 

Arsenal expected lineup: 
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli. 

Prediction: 
Arsenal is in great form at the moment, and it's difficult to see Sheffield United putting a stop to that. The offense is unstoppable right now, and we believe it will continue in tonight's match. Therefore, we suggest that Arsenal scores over 2.5 goals in the game with odds of 1.72 at Bet365.
