Arsenal welcome Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League, with the Gunners looking to make up ground on their rivals ahead of them, report agencies. The Blades are currently four points clear of Mikel Arteta's side in the table.
Arsenal have improved in recent weeks under new coach Arteta, but their results have not seen a dramatic upturn as of yet. The Gunners remain 10th in the table and are now 11 points adrift of the top four. On the other hand, Chris Wilder's team have maintained their early season form and are continuing to surprise teams up and down the league.
The Blades sit sixth going into this match and can go fifth for 24 hours at least with a win at the Emirates. United have picked up 10 points from their last six games, which is three more than the seven Arsenal have amassed, with that six-game run including visits to the Etihad Stadium and Anfield.
Wilder's selection has been remarkably consistent throughout the season, with his forwards the only players that he has chosen to rotate regularly.
Lys Mousset proved the match winner when the two sides met earlier this season, but the former Northampton boss opted for David McGoldrick and Oli McBurnie in their win over West Ham United last time out. Arteta too has been consistent in his selection, but is without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for this match, with the Gabon international serving the first part of his three-game suspension following the red card he picked up against Crystal Palace.
