Sheffield Utd vs Arsenal predictions: Arsenal to cruise to victory

Key Stats

• Arsenal have won five of their last six matches in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in two of their last three away games, while Sheff Utd have lost five of their last six in all competitions and have failed to score in three of their last four outings.
• Arsenal have claimed a 5-0 and 6-0 win in their last two Premier League away games, while Sheff Utd have conceded exactly five goals in their last three home games (5-0, 5-0 and 5-2).
• Bakayo Saka top scores in the league for Arsenal this season with 13 goals, scoring in Arsenal's last game a 4-1 victory over Newcastle.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Odds stacked against the home side

• HOME: 18/1 (19.00) – 5.3%
• DRAW: 15/2 (8.50) – 11.8%
• AWAY: 2/11 (1.18) – 84.6%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Arsenal are the expected winners of this game with a probability of 84.6%, and it's hard to disagree with this selection given the performances of both clubs so far this season.

Sheff Utd look destined for relegation this season as they sit bottom of the table following a run of four defeats and one win from their last five matches. Arsenal are certainly back in the title race having won each of their last five league games.

Player to watch – Bakayo Saka

Can there really be any other player to watch than Bakayo Saka right now?

Arsenal's young star continues to impress with his consistency in front of goal, both in terms of his finishing and his creativity. We simply can't see the Sheff Utd defence being able to handle Saka on Monday night and fully expect Arsenal's top scorer to dominate the game, creating goalscoring opportunities for his teammates and adding to his own goals tally for the season.

Will it be another ‘Saka show' on Monday night?

So far this season, Saka has scored 13 goals in the Premier League whilst supplying seven assists, that's more than Odegaard or Price have managed. We're backing Saka to impress once again with what may well be a man-of-the-match display against a poor Sheff Utd side.
