Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Sheffield United. Mikel Arteta's side is hoping to bounce back after a defeat to Liverpool in the league last time out, and although the Gunners advanced in the Carabao Cup at the expense of the Reds on Thursday, it's points in the league that will matter most to Arteta. Sheffield United, meanwhile, are pointless after three games, but having drawn with Arsenal 1-1- back in January, Chris Wilder's men may well push them close again.
