Sheffield United Team News
Chris Wilder and his team traveled to face Wolverhampton in the previous round, who didn’t show much attacking prowess during the game at Molineux. Jose Sa and his defense had to intervene several times to halt Sheffield United’s attacks. Despite an improvement in performance, Wilder’s team returned empty-handed as Pablo Sarabia scored the only goal of the match in the first 30 minutes. While there may have been some encouraging signs for Sheffield United in their visit to Wolves, their 20th position in the table doesn’t offer much hope, and they still have a significant gap behind the safety zone, trailing Nottingham Forest by 11 points in 17th place.
Despite not losing by more than one goal away from home this year, Sheffield has left the backdoor at Bramall Lane open in recent weeks, leading to an uncomfortable record after heavy defeats against Aston Villa (5-0) and Brighton, with results of 5-0 and 5-2. Furthermore, if Sheffield loses to Arsenal by at least five goals, they will become the first team in English league history to suffer three consecutive home defeats by such a margin, also being the only team in the country to concede five goals in four consecutive home matches in all competitions.
Despite rare good news for Sheffield United fans, Wilder confirmed the return of two players from injury ahead of Monday’s game, where Ben Brereton Diaz and George Baldock are expected to rejoin the squad. However, seven injured players remain sidelined, while Mason Holgate serves the second of a three-game suspension. Auston Trusty is likely to play against his former colleagues, while Oliver Norwood or Yasser Larouci may be at risk of exclusion to accommodate Brereton Diaz’s return. On the other hand, Rhian Brewster delivered a promising performance against Wolverhampton and is unlikely to be left out.
Arsenal Team News
As Sheffield United strives to avoid scripting an unwanted page in English football history, their upcoming guests have a more favorable record in sight, thanks to their recent impressive victories over West Ham by 6-0 and Burnley by 5-0 in their last two away league matches. Aiming to become the first team in the top four English leagues to win three consecutive away matches by five or more goals, Arsenal’s attacking dominance on the road faded in their 1-0 defeat to Porto in the Champions League, but they showcased their best attacking abilities in last week’s visit to Newcastle. Goals from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Jakub Kiwior, along with an own goal by Sven Botman, avenged Arsenal’s painful and controversial 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park earlier in the season, while also keeping them in third place in the Premier League standings.
The gap to leaders Liverpool currently stands at four points after the Reds secured a last-minute 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but Mikel Arteta’s team won’t be looking at the table as they seek their seventh consecutive Premier League win and fourth against Sheffield United.
Regarding injuries, Arteta expects Thomas Partey, who has been sidelined since October with a serious thigh injury, to be in contention for the trip to Bramall Lane, although the Ghanaian midfielder is likely to be on the bench after four and a half months of recovery. Also, neither Oleksandr Zinchenko nor Takehiro Tomiyasu have been ruled out, although their chances of returning are not as strong, while Jurrien Timber will continue building his match fitness over the next few weeks. Gabriel Jesus was back on the bench against Newcastle after his knee problems, but he didn’t enter the game as Arteta carefully managed his minutes, making it unlikely for the Brazilian to immediately return to the starting lineup.
