Arsenal look like a lion in March as the Gunners travel to Bramall Lane to take on Premier League rivals Sheffield United in a midweek league match.
The Gunners are in the thick of the English top-flight title race, sitting in third place but just one point behind Man City and two behind leaders Liverpool. Knowing that the two above them will meet before long, now is the opportunity for Arsenal to take advantage, especially aware that a draw between those clubs could give the Gunners the potential advantage if they hold serve.
Having won each of their last six Premier League games by a combined 25-3, the Gunners have returned to the thick of the race despite appearing to have slipped over the festive season. A Champions League setback in Portugal means they could be looking ahead to the important return match next week, but for now, they have work to do domestically.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, are in total disarray, sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table with just 13 points from 26 games. They have been beaten repeatedly in recent weeks and have a dismal goal differential of -44, which will force them to avoid relegation with no other means than to accumulate points to come back.

The Gunners score goals at will, while Sheffield United concede them ad nauseam. Teammates collide on the field. and the optics disintegrate weekly.
Arsenal pulverized the Blades the last time they met, and it looks like that may be in order once again here.
