Arsenal will be hoping to close the gap on second-placed Chelsea this weekend by taking maximum points against a weakened Sheffield United side at Bramall Lane tomorrow.
Blades manager Neil Warnock has hinted that he will be fielding a weakened team for this match as his team take on Middlesbrough less than 48 hours later,
The Gunners have traditionally fared well against United, winning 46 matches out of the 111 played, losing just 38.
Matches between the two sides have been closely fought affairs, with Arsenal scoring 198 goals and United giving 167 in reply.
Arsenal haven't lost to the Blades since 1996, a 1-0 loss at Bramall Lane.
Since then, Arsenal have notched up 3 wins and 2 draws.
The Gunners are in a rich vein of scoring form and manager Arsène Wenger will be hoping that complacency doesn't creep in and that his team take all 3 points.

Well done, taking maximum points against a weakened Sheffield United side was clearly beyond your capability but nice try.
