Relegation-threatened Sheffield United will play host to title challengers Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday night.
The Blades remain relegation favourites following last week's 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently sitting rock-bottom with 13 points after 26 rounds, 11 points from safety.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have made a perfect league start to 2024, winning all six of their matches by a combined score of 25-3. They were imperious again over the weekend, as they hammered Newcastle 4-1 in the aftermath of their Champions League defeat to FC Porto.

Team news & squads
Sheffield United team news
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has received a double injury boost ahead of Monday's game. Ben Brereton Diaz and George Baldock are both set to return to the matchday squad, with the latter being absent since the end of December.
Oli McBurnie has recovered from a calf injury, and the boss will hope that Cameron Archer, who's been dealing with a muscle issue, will be fit enough to feature. Defender Mason Holgate is suspended after his horror tackle on Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma a fortnight ago.
Max Lowe (ankle), Rhys Norrington-Davies (hamstring), and John Egan (calf) are unlikely to feature once again this season. Chris Basham is still weeks away after fracturing his ankle in October, while Anis Ben Slimane is dealing with a thigh issue.

Arsenal team news
The Gunners have also got several injury boosts ahead of this game. Gabriel Jesus was back on the bench against Newcastle after his latest knee problem, while manager Mikel Arteta is expecting Thomas Partey, who has been out since October with a serious thigh injury, to be in contention for the trip to Bramall Lane following four-and-a-half months on the sidelines.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knock) have not been ruled out for this game. Jurrien Timber has returned to the pitch but is still in the early stages of recovering from an ACL injury sustained on the opening day of the season.
