Arsenal XI vs Sheffield United: Lineup and confirmed team news - Martinelli and Saka start; no Aubameyang

Arsenal are without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Emile Smith Rowe and Martin Odegaard for today’s Premier League trip to Sheffield United.

Captain Aubameyang - dropped to the bench for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg against Slavia Prague - misses out through illness, while Smith Rowe is nursing an ankle sprain.

Meanwhile, Odegaard has been struggling with his own ankle issue picked up on international duty and missed the 1-1 draw with Slavia.

Odegaard is absent from the squad to face Sheffield United, though Calum Chambers is fit to start after missing Thursday’s draw with Slavia due to a knock.

Gabriel Martinelli has been handed a place in the XI and Alexandre Lacazette starts again with Aubameyang out, while Bukayo Saka fills in at left-back with Kieran Tierney injured.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Chambers, Holding, Pablo Mari, Saka, Thomas, Xhaka, Pepe, Ceballos, Martinelli, Lacazette
