Watch Sheffield United vs Arsenal live
The Gunners are on a six-game winning streak (26-3 overall) after enduring a three-game winless run and just one win in five games in December. Heading into matchday 27, there is just one point between leaders Liverpool (60 points) and second-place Manchester City, with a further point between the three-time champions and third-place Arsenal. It was the first time in nearly 10 years (the 2015-16 season, when Leicester City won the Premier League), that the top three teams were tied with just two points after 26 games. Arsenal may be the team to peak at just the right time this season, as they have achieved the most wins, points, clean sheets and conceded the fewest goals since the calendar turned to 2024. .
As for Sheffield United, the number of games remaining (12) could soon match or be less than the number of points they need to pick up to avoid relegation to the Championship (11) . The Blades have won just three PL games this season and will start March hoping to avoid a four-game losing streak that has already lasted for three or more games.
