Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed he began studying Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United while they were still in the Championship after being tipped off about their overlapping centre backs and fighting spirit.
The two sides meet at the Emirates on Sunday, with United looking to add to the four points they took off Arsenal in a stunning first season back in the Premier League.
Wilder’s side have struggled so far in this campaign - they sit second bottom after three straight defeats – but Arteta remains hugely impressed by the work of his opposite number.
