The Blades sit rock bottom of the league with just one point and are floundering as they now must face an encounter with one of the best sides in the league. Things could get ugly for Sheffield in London.
Gunners struggle to route their enemy
Despite Arsenal being unbeaten on the season, presently sitting third, they have failed to score more than two goals on many occasions with close wins and hard-fought matches becoming the norm.
They have only surpassed the over two goals line twice on the season, and one could see these issues persisting, bringing the under well into play.
The Blades also act to bring the line closer to home, conceding an average of 2.25 goals per away game, as they seem to become embattled on the road.
Arsenal may well struggle once again, particularly after their midweek performances may leave the squad fatigued, and without their venomous sting.
Look for them to secure the win but struggle to put the game to bed.

Aiming for the corners
The stars seem to align for this game, as Arsenal come in with one of the highest corner rates in the league and Sheffield comes in with one of the worst records when it comes to conceding these.
The Gunners average 8.8 corners per home game, and have hit the over-seven line in all bar one of their matches, this being against Man City.
The Blades conceded a whopping 9.25 corners when playing away and have hit the over-seven line in all of their matches, except their match with Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal are a far better side than that of the Forresters and should well be able to bag the corners, as they have in every game, especially considering they are not playing the champions City.

Rice Romping Forwards
Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal was one of the signings of the summer, as the Englishman has dominated in his role and gotten some goals to boot.
He often pops up on the edge of the box and has considerable opportunities to test the keeper.
Rice is averaging just over a shot on target every other game, but against the despondent Blades side should find himself with ample opportunity to drive forwards and fire a few shots on target.
