Sheffield United hope to capitalise on David Luiz’s defensive risk-taking if the Brazilian returns to the Arsenal starting line-up on Sunday.
The Blades have taken four points off Arsenal in the league this season with Luiz, who could be back after serving a two-match ban for a red card at Manchester City, playing in both.
‘He’s a great guy actually, very talkative,’ says United striker and captain Billy Sharp.
‘He is a very talented footballer as well, just he does make a few errors which cost him. Yeah, he does take chances, which is something we will try to create in our favour if he does play. He wouldn’t be at Arsenal if he wasn’t a good footballer but you need to gain an edge on your opponent.
‘We know we can beat Arsenal, we have done it at Bramall Lane and picked up a point at the Emirates as well. We need to get in their faces from minute one.
‘Maybe we go into the Arsenal game as underdogs but we think we can win if we raise ourselves five or 10 per cent.’
Manager Chris Wilder is still without centre-back Jack O’Connell, who was injured shortly before the resumption, while goalkeeper Dean Henderson and defender John Egan missed the last game at Old Trafford but should return today.
‘Jack has been a huge miss, the way he plays, he’s made that position his own in the last three seasons. Hopefully he is back soon,’ added Sharp.

This article truly hurts, I hope the team saw it and find motivation going forward.
Well David Luiz is back in the lineup. I'm actually happy with that because he has a big point to prove. If he has any ounce of self-respect, he'll make a big statement with a top level performance today. As much as I loathe him for betraying us and joining Arsenal, I can't help but feel sorry for how much his career has regressed. At least he should prove the critics wrong as well as the opposition players who ridicule him.

It's not pleasant when the opposition players start talking with overconfidence on how they will beat the opposition. This ought to serve as motivation to Arsenal players. They must be angry when they hear such words and step up their level. I'm sure Arsenal fans care about these kinds of articles but the question is whether the players care. Do they want to prove the opposition and everyone else wrong? There shouldn't be any need to motivate them any further but here it is. When will we see the Old Arsenal again? The Arsenal that competes for trophies.
