Arsenal line ups vs Sheffield United as Emile Smith Rowe returns and Fabio Vieira decision made

Arsenal know that they must win and continue to win well as they rack up their goal difference with a string of big victories. Five goals was on the menu when the Blades came to the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal supporters will be hoping for a repeat and perhaps a line-up which reflects that.

Ben White has been inverting really well whilst Jakub Kiwior continues to perform excellently at left-back with the ever-impressive Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba partnership flourishing.
