There was some momentum that ultimately failed to be capitalized on which was unfortunate in this match.
Aston Villa still played with the same dominance but things like this were ultimately unable to bring them to a favorable situation for themselves which made this match that should have been favorable for themselves but instead ended with a result that was not like the initial expectations.
Their performance was not bad but Sheffield also played very well in this match which made Aston Villa difficult in this match which made them have to be willing to share points even though this was their chance to be able to get 3 points in this match while bringing Aston Villa at the top.
With this result Aston Villa is still quite good because it can still go up to position 2 where Liverpool still hasn't played, it's just that this is not too expected because after all it would be great to see them at the top even though it's only temporary.
Sheffield United apparently forced Aston Villa to share points, and stopped Unai Emery squad from leading the EPL standings temporarily. However, the 1 point collected by Aston Villa brought them overtake Liverpool in second place, not too bad, just less than optimal. In stressful circumstances, Sheffield managed to become a stumbling block, something I never imagined before.
Liverpool, who will host Arsenal, will certainly have a better chance of leading the standings, and overtaking Aston Villa and Arsenal. Not without reason, because Jurgen Klopp squad will act as hosts, their home match record is also very good, I think this is a good opportunity for Salah and his colleagues to rise to the top.
Arsenal strength cannot be underestimated this season, to be honest, this is a match that is difficult to predict. Even though a draw is likely to occur, the target of each is to confirm their position at the top of the list, and statistically the Reds have a slightly better presentation than the Gunners. I will not miss this big match, the winner of the match will lead two things in my opinion, the standings and the strongest title challenger.
Actually this is quite regrettable because after all by looking at the current situation Aston Villa should be able to bring 3 points in this match because indeed seeing from the conditions and performance which is indeed seen from the statistics of their last few matches Aston Villa should be able to be even better and be able to get 3 points so that their conditions are better and can overtake Liverpool and Arsenal at once but that now cannot be forced because after all now it has happened and 1 point is what they get.
For Liverpool's match against Arsenal today, to be honest, I am quite hesitant to bet because seeing from the condition of their performance and statistics they can still win 3 points in this match.
Arsenal may be a little better when compared to Liverpool if based on the standings but this still cannot be used as a reference, especially now that Liverpool are playing at home, which is sure this can be difficult because Anfield is not an easy place to conquer.
The problem with Liverpool is that the attack line is not very good, until now Nunez really hasn't been able to make his best contribution which makes it a little difficult for their goal productivity because it only relies on Salah and a few midfielders or defenders who have good goal instincts.
