Arsenal XI vs Sheffield Utd: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League match

With players returning to full fitness, head coach Unai Emery has plenty of decisions to make ahead of Monday’s trip to Sheffield.

At the back, the returning Hector Bellerin will hope to feature but Calum Chambers deserves to start given his form.

Kieran Tierney, however, could get the nod at left-back given he had the international break off to work on his conditioning.

In midfield, Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi are likely to start but it is who joins them that remains a question. Lucas Torreira is pushing for a start, but you suspect Dani Ceballos may just edge him out.

Alexandre Lacazette has stepped up his recovery from injury and has returned to training for Arsenal. A start against Sheffield United on Monday may perhaps come too soon, but you would expect him to make the squad. In his absence, Bukayo Saka will look to continue his fine form alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe in a front three.

Arsenal (4-3-3): Leno; Chambers, Sokratis, Luiz, Tierney; Ceballos; Xhaka, Guendouzi; Pepe, Aubameyang, Saka.
