Xhaka, Sokratis and Kolasinac dropped - The team Arsenal fans want to see vs Sheffield United

The final match in gameweek nine of the 2019/20 Premier League season takes place at Bramall Lane this evening.

Arsenal are the visitors to the newly-promoted side, with Unai Emery's men knowing a win would take them back up to third place in the table.

Head coach Emery has Alexandre Lacazette back in training with the first team ahead of the contest, while the likes of Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney are knocking on the door for a start following long injury layoffs.

Speaking ahead of the game about Tierney's chances of playing, Emery said: "He is ready to play. Now we have two options at left-back with him and Sead Kolasinac.

"We have a lot of matches after Monday and we will need every player. It depends after Kolasinac comes back tomorrow from his international games but we now have two players for that positon."

The Gunners go into the game in a good run of form, winning five of their last six games in all competitions.

They are unbeaten in the last eight games in all competitions and Emery will be reluctant to change his side up too much given that good run of form.

However, the Arsenal supporters have called on the head coach to make three changes to the team that beat Bournemouth 1-0 before the international break.

Much-maligned captain Granit Xhaka is one of those they fans would like to see dropped for the game against Chris Wilder's men on Monday night, with the two other changes coming in defence.
