Arsenal head north this weekend as they look to continue their winning streak that will see them take on Sheffield United, so let’s take a look at the latest team news.
The Gunners have been in brilliant form since the beginning of the year as they have beaten the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle United and West Ham United. The Blades would normally be considered an easy win but this is the Premier League, and anything can happen.
The good news is the return of Jurrien Timber to full training. This is encouraging as it indicates that the defender will play a part in the upcoming games. Thomas Partey is also said to be back in contention which is great news for the team.
As for those who might not make it to the squad, Alex Zinchenko is one the main ones as the Ukraine international is returning from an injury. Mikel Arteta will have Gabriel Jesus back in the lineup, but it remains to be seen if the Brazilian does start the game.
Arsenal Fever View:
For the north Londoners, the equation is simple as they just need to get the three points in the bag. It does not matter if they score one or ten, the result is all that matters. Goals will be expected given recent results, but Arteta would be more interested in the win.
That being said, the attack is firing on all cylinders for the Gunners, and they are playing with an admirable level of confidence. The one thing they need to ensure is that they do not get complacent looking at the level of the opponent.
Focusing on the passing, movement and solidity that is apparent within this group of players is enough to get the result needed. Also, this match could be seen as an opportunity for the visitors to boost their goal difference. As the season goes on, this factor will surely play a vital role.
Arsenal do have what it takes to get an easy win but against a team that is fighting to stay in the league, you can never know what will happen. Despite this, Arteta will feel calm and confident about his team’s chances of a commanding win.
