BT Sport pundit Robbie Savage believes that Arsenal could become unstuck when they travel to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United on Monday night.
What's the word?
The Gunners' face the 157-mile trip north to face the newly-promoted Blades after gaining automatic promotion with a second-place finish in the Championship last season.
During the current campaign, Chris Wilder's side almost pulled off a shock upset against Premier League leaders Liverpool. After goalkeeper Dean Henderson fumbled Georginio Wijnaldum's effort into his own net, Sheffield United lost 1-0 to the Merseyside club after what was a solid defensive display from the Yorkshire based-outfit.
Savage, who played Premier League football for various sides including Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers, has predicted in the Mirror that the Arsenal will not walk away with all three points from the affair but hold out instead for a 1-1 draw.
Two players can make the difference

Arsenal have taken a step forward this season after finding themselves third in the Premier League after eight games, despite receiving criticism about the lack of imagination in attacking areas. This came to light after Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
However, two Gunners' players are capable of turning the tide during the game against Sheffield United on Monday night.
Dani Ceballos, who is on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, is one of them.
In the video below, we look at where it all went wrong for Arsenal's former 'saviour', Mesut Ozil...
The Spaniard has had a bright start to life in north London and has been a valuable asset to boss Unai Emery's team. During his first eight games, he has conjured up two assists in the Premier League as well as a passing accuracy of 89%.
His technical ability with the ball is matched with his ability to involve attackers ahead of him, enclosed in a typical 4-3-3 formation that Emery likes to play. With an average of 1.1 key passes and 1.4 successful dribbles per game, these traits that Ceballos has will help unlock the Sheffield United defence.
The second player is only on the basis that Alexandre Lacazette is not deemed fit enough to feature, and that is Bukayo Saka.
What an impressive start the 18-year-old has had to his Arsenal career. The youngster excelled during Arsenal's 1-1 draw against Manchester United and outshone his £72m teammate Nicolas Pepe in the process.
Having scored one goal and provided three assists in all competitions, Saka has a bright future at the Gunners. His ability to run at full-backs and pick out a pass will trouble the Blades' defensive line. The England U19 international was praised by former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who said that he was a player who is showing great maturity, as per the Metro.
Savage is wrong by saying that the Gunners will struggle, purely on the basis that they have players that can hurt Sheffield United.
Both Ceballos and Saka will have a significant impact on the game if the manager picks them. If Emery utilises them properly, Arsenal will leave Bramall Lane with all three points.
