Despite all their ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses, Arsenal FC currently sit third in the Premier League table and haven’t suffered defeat in their last five. That said, their next match at Sheffield United could be more challenging than many might believe.
The Blades sit 15th in the table, but that really doesn’t do justice to how they have looked so far this season. These two clubs have met six times previously in Premier League competition, with three of those matches ending in stalemate.
Arsenal are still looking for their first win at Bramall Lane, but they do have two wins in the series to the Blades’ one. Let’s take a look at who Gunners boss Unai Emery might select for this Premier League clash.
