What Are the Chances Of Draws In Derby Matches?

3y ago

There is no doubting that Sheffield are currently the worst side in the Premier League at the moment, and if they were to continue in this disastrous form, then relegation would be a forgone conclusion.

However, recent signs have been encouraging, and Chris Wilder will be hoping his side can rediscover some of the form that wowed critics and pundits alike last season.

Everton started the season like a house on fire, but a series of disappointing results meant they were unable to maintain their hold on the top of the table.

Regardless, the Toffees remain in and around the top four, and will undoubtedly, welcome a trip away to the league’s worst side as they look to climb back up the table.

Sheffield United vs Everton Team News

Last time out in the Premier League, Sheffield United were able to hold Brighton to a hard-fought 1-1 draw. The Blades took the lead midway through the second half via a Jayden Bogle goal, and looked set to secure their first victory of the season.

However, Danny Welbeck had other ideas, and his strike, late in the second half, drove a stake into Blades’ hearts worldwide.

Sheffield’s form has been nothing short of disastrous this season, and this draw was only the second time they have avoided defeat this season. The Blades sit rock bottom of the table with just two points collected so far, and are also pretty much down below in other stat categories – the good ones, at least.

Following a slight dip in form, Everton look to have returned to the performance levels on display at the start of the season, and this was epitomized by an impressive 2-1 victory over Arsenal in their last league outing.

The Toffees got off to a great start as Arsenal defender, Rob Holding turned the ball into his own net, but were soon pegged back by a Nicolas Pepe penalty. Defender, Yerry Mina came clutch with a goal late in the first half, and this proved to be enough to secure all three points on the day.

This was Everton’s third win league in a row, following a run of one win in seven, and their recent form is even more impressive considering the fact that their victims include high-fliers Leicester City and Chelsea. And they enter Christmas in the top four, for the first time since the 2004/05 league season.

Everton have been decent while playing away from home in recent times, and they have lost just two of their previous eight matches on the road, winning five.

In contrast, the Blades are winless in eight home league games, with their last win on home turf coming as far back as July. Surely, they won’t fancy welcoming an in-form Everton side.

Injured or Suspended Players

Sheffield Utd vs Everton Predictions

All signs point towards a convincing Everton win this weekend, and considering Sheffield’s abysmal defensive performance, you can expect the Toffees to score a couple of goals here.

That said, Sheffield United have looked more reassuring in recent games, and are looking to turn a corner. As they won’t go down without a fight, you can also expect the Blades to hit the target. The safest punt will be backing both sides to find the net here.
