How Arsenal could line up against Sheffield United

Sports Mole looks at how Arsenal could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal will be looking to get back on track in the Premier League when they welcome Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Gunners began the campaign with back-to-back London derby triumphs, but suffered their first setback of the new season with a 3-1 defeat at champions Liverpool last weekend.

However, they quickly recovered from that to get a measure of revenge against the same opponents in the EFL Cup on Thursday night, and they will be firm favourites against a Sheffield United team yet to score or pick up a point in the league this season.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Mikel Arteta's side could line up for the contest.



Out: Pablo Mari (ankle), Emile Smith Rowe (shoulder), Shkodran Mustafi (hamstring), Gabriel Martinelli (knee), Calum Chambers (knee)
Doubtful: Sokratis Papastathopoulos (calf)

Arteta will welcome back a number of regulars who sat out in midweek for this match, including captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Alexandre Lacazette only made a late cameo off the bench in that game too, meaning that he should be fresh to lead the line having scored Arsenal's goal at Anfield last weekend.

Willian, Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney are among the other players who will likely be brought back into the fold for this one.

Arteta appears to have regained faith in Mohamed Elneny, starting him in the league game against Liverpool last weekend, and it seems to be a decision between him and Dani Ceballos alongside Granit Xhaka in the middle of the park at the moment.

On the left, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Bukayo Saka have swapped places regularly already this term and, with Saka playing in midweek, it could be Maitland-Niles's turn for this game.

David Luiz was something of a surprise inclusion last weekend, particularly in place of Gabriel Magalhaes, and Arteta faces another decision between the two Brazilians here.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos could be in contention for this one alongside Cedric Soares, who returned in midweek, but Shkodran Mustafi, Emile Smith Rowe, Pablo Mari, Gabriel Martinelli and Calum Chambers are all sidelined.
