ARSENAL travel to Bramall Lane in phenomenal form – but wouldn’t that just be football for bottom place Sheffield United to do the unthinkable?
The Gunners finally got revenge on Newcastle for their controversial VAR loss earlier this season with a 4-1 thrashing at the Emirates last Saturday.

But the Gunners showed signs that they can be got at in Europe and with the support of the home crowd, Sheffield United always stand a chance.
