The Blades side needs to be on top of their game and the players will have to put in 150% of their effort if they want to beat the Gunners.

They gave the league leaders Liverpool a good run for their money. They have beaten Everton 2–0 this season. Chris Wilder's side will be looking to make it back to back wins over the Gunners when both sides meet at Bramall Lane.

So, all is not lost for the Blades side and they need to enter this game against the Gunners with a positive frame of mind. They have a decent team and if all the players play to their potential and show the skills that they showed against Liverpool, then Arsenal will not find the game on Monday an easy one.

Arsenal will have a busy end to the month as they have Vitoria de Guimaraes, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace to face in different competitions before November begins.

Arsenal does not have an impressive away form like their home form. They have not won on the road this season after their first win on the road during the opening week of the new season. This could be a worrying factor, but Arsenal will look to put this information on the back burner and try to post a win on Monday. If they do, then they sent a huge message to the other top opponents. Sheffield United's coaching staff will look to instill the away record form of the Gunners in the minds of the Blades and drive them to believe that they can overcome this in-form team. Arsenals' form for the last six matches reads as a win, win, win, draw, win, and win.

Scoreline Prediction
