Sheffield United host Arsenal in the Premier League tonight.

Sheffield United go with Dean Henderson between the sticks, with the familiar three centre backs in front of him in John Egan, Chris Basham and Jack O’Connell.

Enda Stevens and Geroge Baldock operate as the wing backs, with Oliver Norwood, John Lundstram and John Fleck in midfield.

There are two changes up front, with Lys Mousset and David McGoldrick given the nod in attack ahead of Oliver McBurnie and Callum Robinson.

They’re both named on the bench, alongside Simon Moore, Phil Jagielka, Muhamed Besic, Luke Freeman and Billy Sharp.

Meanwhile, Arsenal again go with Bernd Leno in goal, behind a back four of Calum Chambers, David Luiz, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Sead Kolasinac.

Joe Willock comes into midfield alongside Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi, with Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Pepe operating out wide.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starts up front, meaning Alexandre Lacazette is only on the bench on his return from injury.

He’s joined by Kieran Tierney despite calls from fans for him to start, as well as Emiliano Martinez, Rob Holding, Lucas Torreira, Dani Ceballos and Gabriel Martinelli.
