Joe Willock comes into the side in place of Dani Ceballos as Arsenal prepare to take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Unai Emery has made just one change to the side that beat Bournemouth before the international break, as Arsenal get set to lock horns with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, in a Gameweek 9 fixture.

There is no looking past Bernd Leno, who starts in goal for Arsenal once again. There are no changes in the back four either, with Sead Kolasinac getting the nod over Kieran Tierney for the left-back slot once again. Calum Chambers, Sokratis and David Luiz round up the defensive line.

Up ahead in midfield, Matteo Guendouzi and Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka continue in the midfield double pivot. Nicolas Pepe and Bukayo Saka also keep their places on the two flanks, but Dani Ceballos has dropped down to the bench.

Ceballos makes way for Joe Willock, who will reprise the no. 10 role, playing off the central striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Alexandre Lacazette, meanwhile, is only fit enough to start on the bench and ought to make his presence felt later on in the game against Sheffield United.

Arsenal Starting XI: Leno; Chambers, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac; Guendouzi, Xhaka; Pepe, Willock, Saka; Aubameyang
