Arsenal travel to Bramall Lane on Monday night to take on Sheffield United in the Premier League and most people believe this should be an easy win for the Gunners.
Arsenal have not lost a match since their 3-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield towards the end of August but Sheffield United’s manager Chris Wilder believes the Emirates outfit will have a tough time on Monday.
Wilder feels the atmosphere at Bramall Lane is a force to reckon with and it will cause a fair bit of quandaries to the travelling side.
“We are competitive and we fancy our chances,” Wilder said(as reported by Sky Sports).
“We are bullish as you can obviously imagine because that is the approach that we take. We were against Liverpool.
“The crowd have been absolutely amazing at home and that is not me rubbing their heads because they know how important it is for them to be on the front foot and make it hostile and noisy.
“The last manager who came here [Jurgen Klopp] commented on [the atmosphere] as well, which was a real pat on the back for the way our ground was set up and atmosphere inside it,
“We will need that on Monday night and I am sure that will happen.
“A night game at Bramall Lane under the lights, live on Sky, something that we are really looking forward to and getting after the opposition but understanding the quality that they have got.”
While Arsenal have managed to pick up points continuously, Sheffield United, on the other hand, have won just a single game out of their last six matches.
But the home side have managed to put up a brave face against the top-six sides – drawing their game vs Chelsea and putting up a ferocious fight against Liverpool.
And with Arsenal arguably one of the weaker top-six sides, Sheffield United will surely fancy their chances of picking up atleast a point on Monday.
