Arsenal vs Sheffield United simulated using EA FC 24 to predict ...

Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from last week's draw and return to winning ways when the Gunners host Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday.

After a fantastic 1-0 win over Manchester City that handed Mikel Arteta's side a huge boost in their race for the title, the Gunners dropped points against Chelsea, coming from two goals behind to salvage a 2-2 draw. A point looks like a decent result after being two goals down, but with how tight the title race seems to be, any points dropped could prove costly in the long run.

Next up for Arsenal is Sheffield United, with the Blades sitting bottom of the Premier League after picking up just one point in nine games. The last meeting between the two sides came in 2021, with the Gunners winning 3-0 thanks to an Alexandre Lacazette brace and a Gabriel Martinelli strike.

So, could the Gunners pile on the misery for Sheffield United on Saturday? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the Gunners could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Rice, Havertz, Odegaard, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli.

We predict that Sheffield United could line up in a 4-4-2 formation, with their line-up as follows: Foderingham; Bogle, Trusty, Robinson, Thomas; McAtee, Norwood, Souza, Hamer; Brewster, Archer.

The visitors came out at the Emirates fired up and almost catching Arsenal by surprise, with Rhian Brewster forcing David Raya into two big saves early on. Neither side created any major chances for the remainder of the first half, but a much-improved Arsenal performance after the restart was awarded with a goal.

Declan Rice launched a ball forward to Eddie Nketiah on the edge of the box, and the striker flicked the ball towards goal, finding the run of Martin Odegaard. The ball bounced awkwardly for the captain, but Odegaard hit a sweet half volley across goal, zipping past the 'keeper and into the net.

After going ahead, the Gunners were able to grasp full control of the game, with Arteta's side seeing out a big three points.
