The Blades’ fans are still hoping they can do a ‘mission impossible’.
Eleven points clear of safety, if that becomes a reality, they should start to upset the odds against Arsenal tonight.
Attacker isn’t that big of a problem now
While many pundits have said the Gunners cannot win the league without acquiring a striker, the Arsenal boss addressed their goals in the transfer market:
I understand why the fans are asking for it [a No.9] But we have already planned our goals, we know what awaits us, and I would be worried if we didn’t score goals or create chances, but we are doing that now. The plan is to try to get better every year. We are now at a good time and so it is about improving step by step.
Mikel Arteta
Goals continue to flow in North London
Arsenal have had no problem finding the back of the net this year.
Facing a side who have scored 66 goals so far this season, Arteta will be looking for his side to continue their impressive away form.
