Aston Villa has gained impressive form and entered the race for the top spot. The team from Birmingham is currently in third place ahead of the 18th round, trailing only behind “Liverpool” on additional indicators and just one point behind the leader, “Arsenal.” In the last six rounds, the team has been unbeaten, securing five victories and one draw. It’s impossible not to mention Aston Villa’s impressive winning streak at home in the Premier League 15 consecutive victories, including the end of the previous season. In the last round, they managed to overcome “Brentford” away with a score of 2-1, albeit with some difficulties. They sealed the victory only in the final stages, after a red card. Today, midfielder Boubacar Kamara will not be able to help his team due to suspension, along with defender Tyrone Mings, goalkeeper Robin Olsen, and forward Bertrand Traor?, who are sidelined due to injuries.
Sheffield United joined the battle for survival from the early rounds but has been unsuccessful so far. The team has only eight points and occupies the last position in the table. The gap from the 17th place, which guarantees safety, is six points. The arrival of Chris Wilder to the coaching bridge initially resulted in a victory against “Brentford” (1-0). However, in the next match away, they suffered a 0-2 defeat to “Chelsea.” It’s worth noting that the “Blades” have the weakest defense, conceding 43 goals in 17 matches. Defenders Chris Basham and John Egan won’t be able to play today due to injuries. More deep football analysis and predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
