Sheff Utd

Prediction

  • Aston Villa will be looking to extend their phenomenal Premier League winning streak at home to 16 matches when they host Sheffield United on Friday night.
  • Unai Emery's side made if nine matches unbeaten in all competitions when they came from behind to take all three points at Brentford last time out.
  • A win here would see the Villans go top of the Premier League until Saturday evening, at least.
  • Returning manager Chris Wilder has now lost two of the three matches he has presided over, after last weekend's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea.
  • Sheffield United have seen both teams fail to score in all of their last four matches, with that side being them more often than not.
  • The Blades will be hard-pressed to find a result, and even a goal against such a confident Villa team here.
