In their quest for the first Premier League win this year, Sheffield United and Aston Villa will face each other at Bramall Lane on Saturday.
Sheffield United, having secured victories in their last three home games against Unai Emery’s team, aim to maintain this positive momentum heading into the weekend.
Sheffield United faced disappointment on Tuesday with a narrow 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, following a 5-2 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup fourth-round clash on January 27. This setback marked the end of their two-game undefeated streak.
Sheffield United has experienced 16 losses in 22 Premier League matches, securing two wins and four draws to accumulate 10 points, currently occupying the bottom position in the table.
Aston Villa slipped out of the top four after a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United at Villa Park on Tuesday.
Before the recent setback, Unai Emery’s team enjoyed a four-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, securing two wins and two draws. This included a goalless draw against Chelsea in the FA Cup fourth-round clash on January 26.
Aston Villa holds the fifth position in the Premier League table with 43 points from 22 matches. A victory this weekend could potentially bring them level with third-placed Arsenal.
