Tierney to start and Sheffield United confident of victory
The international break is almost over and we can return to club football and the upcoming Sheffield United Arsenal match.
The biggest news for Arsenal fans is that Kieran Tierney will start against the blades according to the Scottish press. There are also reports that Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding will also feature.
Mesut Ozil played in a behind closed door game against Reading along with Holding and Bellerin and he could be a shock call up.
As for Sheffield United, they are giving late fitness tests to John Fleck, Oli McBurnie and David McGoldrick state FourFourTwo.
United boss Chris Wilder is full of confidence claiming that his side is feeling “bullish”.
“We are competitive and we fancy our chances,” Wilder said.
“We are bullish as you can obviously imagine because that is the approach that we take. As we were against Liverpool.
“The crowd have been absolutely amazing at home and that is not me rubbing their heads because they know how important it is for them to be on the front foot and make it hostile and noisy.
“The last manager who came here [Jurgen Klopp] commented on [the atmosphere] as well, which was a real pat on the back for the way our ground was set up and atmosphere inside it,” he added.
That is it for now but you can expect news ahead of the game to start flowing now the international break is coming to a close.
