Premier League Preview

Sunday promises to be a huge fixture for Sheffield United, as Chris Wilder’s side could move to within touching distance of safety if they are able to upset the odds and claim a home win against Brighton. The Blades come into the weekend sitting bottom of the standings, and they are currently seven points adrift of safety in the top-flight. 

However, their survival chances were given a massive boost in the latest round of matches, as they caused a slight shock by overcoming Luton Town at Kenilworth Road. It was a battling performance by the Blades to claim maximum points, with Cameron Archer, James McAtee, and Vinicius Souza netting the goals. It was also the club’s first away win in the top-flight since March 2021.

Brighton have failed to build on their incredibly bright start to the new season, and they are now in danger of dropping into the bottom half of the standings. The Seagulls come into this weekend sitting ninth in the standings, but they could be overtaken by both Chelsea and Wolves this weekend. 

Brighton have suffered two defeats in their last three matches, and they have picked up just a single victory across their last five fixtures in the competition. Despite that run, they remain among the highest scorers in the competition. However, they will need to address their defensive issues after allowing two second half goals in defeat against Tottenham last weekend. 

Sheffield United vs Brighton Head to Head

Three of the last five Premier League matches between these sides have ended in score draws. That includes a 1-1 result when the sides clashed in the previous encounter this term. The other two top-flight fixtures have been won by Sheffield United. Brighton’s only since in their last six against the Blades was an FA Cup victory in January. 

Sheffield United vs Brighton Prediction

This is a massive fixture in the context of Sheffield United’s stay in the Premier League. Huge confidence would have been built following their win over Luton last weekend, and we could see them upsetting the odds once more at Bramall Lane on Sunday.
