Sheffield United will be hoping to complete their first top flight double over Arsenal since the 1946-47 season when they travel to the Emirates stadium for Saturday’s Premier League clash.
The Blades ran out 1-0 winners in October’s reverse encounter at Bramall Lane, but have lost eight and won none of their last nine away matches against this opposition.
Mikel Arteta’s men secured their first home win in seven matches by beating Manchester United 2-0 in their last match on home soil, and are favourites to make it two in a row here.
The 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace last weekend was a third in five league outings for the hosts, who can be backed at to play out another stalemate in this one.
Reserve goalkeepers Simon Moore and Michael Verrips are the only injury concerns for the visitors.
