One of Arsenal's repeated failures last season was to sideline supposedly inferior opponents once they had their nose in front. Sheffield United's last visit to the Emirates in January was a case in point; John Fleck scored an almost deserved draw and the hosts' problems became great. They look better now, but Mikel Arteta believes Sunday's opponents have "deserved much more" than three defeats in a row. With both teams in a state of suspended animation before the transfer deadline, it could be a cautious afternoon. Nick ames
