Having earned a hard-fought draw against Crystal Palace after going down to 10-men in the clash, Arsenal will hope for more home comforts when they entertain Sheffield United at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners have beaten both Leeds and Manchester United in their last two games at their home ground, but face a Blades side who are sixth in the Premier League table, and four points clear of them.

Having already lost to Chris Wilder's men in the reverse fixture, the north Londoners have the perfect chance for retribution, but must do so without their talisman, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gunners' appeal to get his three match ban reduced, ended in failure, and that will no doubt be the main conundrum for Mikel Arteta to address on Saturday.

So with that in mind, below is a look at how the Gunners could look to do just that.

Arsenal's potential line-up to face Sheffield United

In goal, Bernd Leno will retain his place as Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper, but in front of him, things have been far less certain and consistent. The north London side's injury problems continue to mount, with Sead Kolasinac appearing to be the latest one to struggle with a problem. That could see teenager Bukayo Saka once again fill in at left-back, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Sokratis and David Luiz completing another make-shift back-four.

Having gone off at half-time against Palace last week, there were initial fears Lucas Torreira had suffered a muscle injury. But speaking ahead of the clash against Sheffield United, Arteta confirmed that he hoped he would have the Uruguay international available. That could thus see him keep his place alongside Granit Xhaka as part of the deeper-lying midfield two.

And in attack, Arteta has a major decision on his hands as to how he goes about replacing Aubameyang. Gabriel Martinelli came on in the second-half at Selhurst Park and will surely fancy his chances of being the man to take over from the former Borussia Dortmund star. If that is the case, the Gunners boss may look to stick with Mesut Ozil, Nicolas Pepe and Alexandre Lacazette alongside him so as to minimise any more disruption.
