Recent respective form guides
Sheffield United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Blades have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Arsenal's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Gunners's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Sheff. Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 20 points from 20 matches. Arsenal sit in a healthy 3rd in the league, and have picked up 36 points from their 20 games.
