Opta stats

  • Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last four top-flight home games against Arsenal (W1 D3) since a 0-2 loss in April 1991. However, this is their first such meeting since December 2006.
  • Arsenal have played more Premier League games at Bramall Lane without victory than they have any other ground in the competition (3 – D2 L1).
  • Arsenal have won their last seven Premier League games in Yorkshire – the longest winning run by an away side in the county in English top-flight history.
  • Sheffield United have lost their last three Premier League home games. They last lost four in a row at home in league competition in April 1965.
  • Arsenal are winless in their three away league games since beating Newcastle on the opening weekend (D2 L1). Under Unai Emery, the Gunners have kept just two clean sheets in 23 away Premier League matches (1-0 at Watford and 1-0 at Newcastle).
  • Arsenal have lost just one of their last 11 Premier League matches on a Monday (W8 D2), going down 0-3 against Crystal Palace in April 2017.
  • Sheffield United haven’t lost a league game on a Monday since January 2012 (2-3 vs Carlisle), winning six and drawing six since. This is their first top-flight game on Monday since January 2007 (1-3 vs Middlesbrough).
  • Sheffield United have scored just one goal before half-time in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side. All seven of their goals have also all been scored by different players, including benefitting from two own goals.
  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 49 goals in 75 games for Arsenal in all competitions – a goal here would see him become the sixth fastest player to reach the 50 milestone for the Gunners.
  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 80% of Arsenal’s Premier League away goals this season (4/5), with Lucas Torreira netting the other.
