Arsenal vs Sheffield United LIVE Kick-off, TV channel, team news ...

Welcome to football.london's live coverage of Arsenal vs Sheffield United as the Gunners look to get a grip of their league form having dropped points at Chelsea last weekend. The Blades offer up a good opportunity to Mikel Arteta as they sit at the base of the table.

Mikel Arteta decided to drop both Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalhaes to the bench. Kai Havertz and Emile Smith Rowe came into the midfield with further changes in the way of Jorginho also making way.

Auston Trusty returned to face his former club. Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka captains the side from the start in the Premier League for the very first time.

Eddie Nketiah would give the Gunners the lead in the first half. Declan Rice spotted the striker with a glorious pass into the box, the striker beating Trusty and then slotting the ball past Wes Foderingham.

The striker doubled his tally early in the second period, smashing in from a corner. Then he completed his hat-trick with a strike from range which flew into the top left hand corner.

Tom Canton is at the Emirates Stadium to bring all the build-up, match coverage and reaction. Updates to follow.
