Football Prediction
High-flying Aston Villa meets Sheffield United with the hope of leapfrogging Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
The Unai Emery side have been sensational this season and are only a point below the Gunners who they beat a fortnight ago. They have not lost in the last nine games in all competitions and are looking to extend that impressive streak on Friday night.
This year, in the Premier League, there are three clear favorites for relegation. One of them is Sheffield United, who collected only eight points in the first 17 matches. At the moment, they are six points behind the safety and faces another challenge against one of the most in-form teams in the league.

Team News
Lucas Digne and Douglas Luiz served their suspensions and got the chance to play on Friday. The bad news is that Emery’s team will be without injured Emiliano Buendia, Tyrone Mings, Robin Olsen, Youri Tielemans, and Bertrand Traore. Boubacar Kamara is suspended for the game after being sent off in the club’s last game against Brentford.
Sheffield United have big problems with missing players too. They should be without Chris Basham, Rhys Norrington-Davies, John Egan, Tom Davies, Daniel Jebbison, and Rhian Brewster. The good news is that Jack Robinson will return after he served a suspension.
Probable Line Up
Aston Villa XI: Martínez (GK), Moreno, Carlos, Torres, Konsa, Cash, McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey, Watkins, Diaby
Sheffield United XI: Foderingham (GK), Robinson, Ahmedhodžić, Trusty, Bogle, Hamer, Souza, McAtee, Brooks, McBurnie, Archer
Verdict
Aston Villa are the best home team in the Premier League, with eight wins from eight matches so its hard to see how Sheffield will be picking anything on their ground.
