The Premier League is back in action this week with a new slate of games, starting on Friday when Sheffield United takes on Unai Emery’s formidable Aston Villa team at Villa Park.
Preview: Aston Villa vs. Sheffield United
Sheffield United has found it difficult to adjust to the demands of the top division this season, as seen by their present position near the bottom of the Premier League standings. The away team will need to put in a lot of effort to win this game after suffering a 2-0 loss to Chelsea over the weekend.
Conversely, Aston Villa is now sitting in third position in the league table and has had a fantastic season. In their most recent match, the hosts narrowly defeated Brentford 2-1, and they’ll try to improve on that performance this week.
When Aston Villa hosts Sheffield United in an English Premier match on Friday at Villa Park, they’ll be hoping to avoid making a big mistake. Currently ranked third in the Premier League standings, the Villans (12-2-3) have been among the league’s hottest teams. They are level on points with Liverpool and one behind league leaders Arsenal after going nine games without a loss in all competitions. Sheffield (2-2-13) needs to improve if they want to stay in the Premier League and escape relegation. They have lost four of their last five games, are six points from safety, and have been outscored 12-2.
