Arsenal will be hoping to bounce back from defeat when they welcome Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The Gunners saw their winning start to the season ended by a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool last time out, although did exact some revenge with a penalty shootout Carabao Cup victory over the same opposition in midweek.

Arsenal vs Sheffield United Preview

Although both sides fielded much changed lineups, Thursday’s 0-0 Carabao Cup draw with Liverpool offered a good example of the defensive transformation Mikel Arteta has brought to the team.

Having kept three clean sheets in their last five matches in all competitions, they will back themselves to keep quiet a Blades side that is yet to find the net in the league this campaign.

In fact, Sheffield United’s lacklustre scoring run extends back into last season and translates to a return of just one goal in six league matches.

With this in mind, odds of 6/4 (2.50) seem generous on Arsenal extending their strong home record by coming out on top without conceding a goal.
