Tooor for Arsenal FC, 0:4 by Kai Havertz

21:25
Arsenal slowed down significantly after the third goal and initially seemed to spare the home team a bit.

21:23
The guests’ next goal comes from Rice, who challenges Grbić from a twelve-meter half-left position. The Croatian goalkeeper allows the central shot to bounce forward, where his front men can clear.

21:22
The home team’s first shot came from McAtee, who shot it from a good 25 meters, but also missed the goal by a few meters.

Wilder reacts to the false start and changes after just 17 (!) minutes.

What a start at Bramall Lane! Arsenal are picking up where they left off in the last few games, but Sheffield is also making things particularly easy for the Gunners. The first spectators are already leaving the stadium.

Tooor for Arsenal FC, 0-3 by Gabriel Martinelli
Less than two minutes after making it 2-0, the ball hits the goal again! Sheffield moves up a bit after the kick-off, loses the ball and Arsenal counter quickly. On the left, Martinelli sends Kiwior, who passes it back to the Brazilian. His shot from a twelve-meter half-left position is deflected so that Grbić has no chance and the ball hits the bottom left corner.

Tooor for Arsenal FC, 0-2 by Jayden Bogle (own goal)
The quick 2-0! And that’s easy too: Saka sprints past to the right and to the baseline. Shortly before the goal, he passes it into the middle, where the ball bounces off Bogle’s thigh into his own goal.
11.
21:13
Again the guests combine on the left side in the box, this time Martinelli passes in the middle to Saka, who receives the ball and shoots from eight meters, but this time the low shot is blocked by Robertson. But that’s far too easy.

21:10
Ødegaard’s next shot: The Arsenal captain comes to the ball at the right corner of the penalty area after a short corner, moves into the middle and looks for the left corner from 17 meters. The Norwegian’s shot flies a good meter past the left post.
7.
21:09
This is of course a very ungrateful start for the home team, but they mainly have themselves to blame for it. From the start, the guests could hardly be separated from the ball and got into the penalty area a few times. Of course, things won’t get any easier for the Blades now.

21:05
Tooor for Arsenal FC, 0-1 by Martin Ødegaard
And there is already the lead for Arsenal! Sheffield is extremely deep and still offers the Gunners a lot of space. On the left edge of the penalty area, Martinelli sends Rice deep, who places it in the middle just before the baseline, where Ødegaard is completely blank and easily pushes in with his left from eight meters.

21:04
Saka straight to the crossbar! After just over a minute, Saka plays a one-two with Jorginho on the right side of the penalty area and passes it to Rice in the middle, whose shot is blocked from the penalty spot and returns to Saka. He takes the shot directly from a seven meter half-right position and slams the ball onto the crossbar. Martinelli then finishes from the left from twelve meters, Robertson clears on the line. There was almost a crash in Grbić’s box.

Barrott released the game and kicked off the guests. A long ball from Raya ends up in touch.

Game start
20:57
The game will be refereed by Sam Barrott, assisted by Simon Bennett and Daniel Robathan. The teams have already entered the pitch and things will start in just a few moments. Have fun!
20:44
Wilder made two changes to his starting eleven compared to the 1-0 defeat in Wolverhampton: Davies replaced Larouci (bench) on the left wing and McBurnie moved up front for Brewster (missing from the squad injured). On the other hand, Arteta sticks to the same starting formation as in the 4-1 win against Newcastle United, which means that Havertz plays alongside Martinelli and Saka in a three-man attack.
20:33
The situation is different for Arsenal FC, who played their way back into the title race with six wins in a row – of which the Gunners won four games with a difference of three goals or more. With a threesome today, coach Mikel Arteta’s team could move within one point of second-placed Manchester City and two points of league leaders Liverpool.
20:21
For the hosts, the signs point to relegation – head coach Chris Wilder’s team is already eleven points behind the first non-relegation place. The Blades are particularly lacking in offense, where they are the weakest in the league with 22 goals scored. United have only been able to get four points from the last eight games, so staying in the league has become a long way off and requires an almost impossible comeback.
20:06
Welcome to the final game of matchday 27 of the Premier League between Sheffield United and Arsenal FC! Kick-off at Bramall Lane is 9pm.
