Two sides without a win in the Premier League this term will collide on matchday four. Sheffield United will have home field advantage, while Everton will be looking to recover following a miserable start to the new campaign.
Premier League Preview
Everton and Sheffield United have both endured a miserable start to the new season, and both will be hopeful that this Saturday’s clash can result in a first win of the season. The Blades will have home field advantage this weekend, as they look to kick on following an impressive display against Manchester City last weekend.
It was an impressive display by United at Bramall Lane, but they were ultimately left pondering what could have been following City’s winner with just two minutes of normal time remaining. The Blades battled well to get back into the game with five minutes remaining, but they were caught napping just three minutes after dragging themselves level. The defeat means that United have now lost each of their opening three matches this season, meaning it is the third time in top-flight history that they started the campaign with that record.
There will be pressure on Sean Dyche this weekend, as Everton are still searching for a first point and goal this term. The Toffees narrowly avoided relegation to the second tier last term, and they already sit bottom of the Premier League standings this term after the opening three matches.
They have already allowed six goals, but the fact that they are without a goal this term would be a huge concern. Their most recent loss was suffered at Goodison Park on Saturday, as they fell to a 1-0 loss against fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Sheffield United vs Everton Head to Head
This is the fifth top-flight meeting between the sides since 2019. Everton and United have both recorded two wins apiece. However, interestingly, each of the last four have been won by the side playing on the road. Everton won on their previous visit to Bramall Lane in December 2020.
Sheffield United vs Everton Prediction
The trend of away victories in this fixture looks challenging to overlook this weekend. We would be surprised if there are over 2.5 goals in this fixture, and the main play from a betting perspective would be for Everton to land a first victory of the 2023-24 season.
