Blades of Glory

Arsenal lost more games than they won on the road in 2018-19 and there's minimal reason to think that trend will change this season after three winless away outings in a row.

We’ve discussed it before, but the reasons for backing against Arsenal, especially against less established teams remains compelling.

That’s because the Gunners concede a frightening number of shots - 17 per match on average - which belies their top-three status heading into the weekend. Sheffield Utd are available to win at best odds of 3/1 with WilliamHill and that’s a veritable bargain.


The Blades are at home and they only concede 11.6 shots per match, which ranks 7th in the top flight.

If those stats don’t persuade you then just consider United’s outstanding reintroduction to the Premier League more broadly. Wins against Palace and Everton, plus top notch draws at Chelsea, Bournemouth and Watford. All they have lacked is a statement victory against a big gun, and that can come on Monday night.

Arsenal’s away record throughout 2019 remains weak and we may all have cause to remember why soon enough.
