Arsenal’s season may be alive in the Europa League but they share an empty feeling with Sheffield United that their league campaign has become more of a box-ticking exercise at this point. Mikel Arteta’s side must fight through the disappointment to avoid going five games without victory in all competitions before the second leg against Slavia Prague. United will hope to recreate last season’s brilliant win over Arsenal. It was surprising then but would be much less so now regardless of their league position. Graham Searles
