Key Battles: Arsenal vs Sheffield United

Arsenal take on one of the league’s most surprising packages as they host Sheffield United at the Emirates.

The reverse fixture between these two sides in October saw the Blades run out 1-0 winners at Bramall Lane, thanks to a first-half goal from Lys Mousset.

Chris Wilder’s side have fought their way to sixth place and may even start to dream of playing European football next season.

Despite only scoring 24 goals in their 22 games, Sheffield United have the joint second-best defensive record in the league, having only conceded 21 goals.

In addition, the Blades have played better away from home, only losing to Liverpool and Manchester City so far on their travels.

All this makes grim reading for Arsenal, who currently sit in tenth place.

But, the appointment of Mikel Arteta has brought some well-needed positivity back to the Emirates.

Arteta will know that this Sheffield United side will be hard to beat and Wilder will be looking to add another big scalp to his collection when his side travels to North London.
