Mikel Arteta oversaw consecutive wins over Manchester United and Leeds United earlier this month but our mini-winning run came to an end with a frustrating 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend.
Arsenal welcome Sheffield United to north London tomorrow with the Blades sitting sixth in the table – four points above us – after an impressive return to the top flight so this certainly won’t be an easy game.
