Burnley 0-5 Arsenal – Arteta believes Premier League momentum is with Gunners

A late Simon Adingra double capped a 5-0 win for Brighton at bottom side Sheffield United, who played most of their Premier League match with 10 men after Mason Holgate was sent off.

Facundo Buonanotte and Danny Welbeck scored early in the first half after Holgate, who joined United this month on loan from Everton, got his marching orders in the 13th minute following a knee-high challenge on Kaoru Mitoma.

Mitoma’s cross was put through his own goal by Jack Robinson in the 75th before Adingra scored twice within seven minutes to seal Brighton’s first Premier League away win since November.

Meanwhile, De Zerbi has made three alterations from Brighton’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham last time out. In goal, Steele drops out of the team and will be replaced by Verbruggen. At the back, Webster is named in the starting XI, with Estupinan dropping to the bench. Adam Lallana fails to make the squad, so Adingra will play from the beginning of the match.

Wilder has made two changes from Sheffield United’s 3-1 victory over Luton in their previous match. In defence, Larouci comes in for the injured Rhys Norrington-Davies and is likely to slot in at left-back. Up front, joint-top goalscorer Cameron Archer misses out, with Osula coming into the starting XI.

Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton will be looking to turn their away form around after a tricky run of games on the road. Roberto De Zerbi’s side are winless in their last six away Premier League matches (D2 L4), their longest winless run away from the Amex Stadium since a seven-game streak under Graham Potter between September and December 2021. The Seagulls lost 2-1 against Tottenham in their previous fixture, conceding a last-minute goal with Brennan Johnson scoring the winner. Playing against the side who currently sit bottom of the Premier League could be a chance to gain some momentum, but the Blades showed plenty of fight last time out.

Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Sheffield United currently sit in 20th place in the Premier League table, but they will be hoping to continue their momentum after picking up an impressive result last time out. The Blades defeated Luton Town 3-1 at Kenilworth Road, ending a seven-match winless streak (D2 L5). Chris Wilder’s side have conceded more goals at home in the division than any other side (31 in 12 games). In Premier League history, only West Brom have shipped more goals in their first 12 home games of the campaign (2020-21). Today, they will face a Brighton side who haven’t beaten the Blades in their last seven league fixtures, with their last victory coming back in 2005.
