Prediction published on 03/02/2024, 04:02  by Sridhar in Premier League Predictions

Basement club Sheffield United will look to upset the calculations of top-four aspirants Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend. This matchday 23 will be played at Bramall Lane on Saturday. Ahead of this round of games, United are bottom of the standings with 10 points while Villa are 5th with 43 points. Nine points separate the Blades from safety zone, which means they need to improve their recent form to increase their chances of avoiding the drop. The hosts have drawn 2-2 with West Ham before losing 3-2 to Crystal Palace, so there’s enough spirit in this camp to at least score goals. That is the case with seven of their last ten home league games as well, so the Blades could keep things interesting with their play.

Villa are level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham, while only three points separate them from second-placed Manchester City. This situation masks the fact that their recent form has been anything but impressive. Villa have won just once across their last five league games, drawing and losing two each. Four matches in this sequence have seen both teams score goals, so Villa are likely to play ball and come up with goals. The visitors are still in the hunt for a top-four finish and even an outside chance to be in the title race, which should see them be competitive. Villa have lost just twice across their last seven away league games, but only two wins in this sequence suggest that they have struggled for impact.
