Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Sheffield United. Mikel Arteta's side is hoping to bounce back after a defeat to Liverpool in the league last time out, and although the Gunners advanced in the Carabao Cup at the expense of the Reds on Thursday, it's points in the league that will matter most to Arteta. Sheffield United, meanwhile, are pointless after three games, but having drawn with Arsenal 1-1- back in January, Chris Wilder's men may well push them close again.

26'
It has been the longest wait for a shot in a Premier League match so far this season...
24'
The tempo has dropped in the game and with almost 25 minutes played, we have yet to see a shot. Sheffield United are looking more than comfortable.
21'
Bellerin bursts into the penalty area with the quickest of feet, but then is forced into moving the ball back to Willian. His low cross is teasing, but Nketiah doesn't make the run and Ramsdale can smother.
20'
Another decent Sheffield United move, as Osborn holds up play and tries to knock a clever ball back to Lundstram, but Ceballos nips in to steal back possession.
18'
Burke has yet to be on the winning side in the Premier League, which isn't great.
16'
Saka drives down the left but Baldock tracks his run all the way and wins the ball with a sliding tackle. Chris Wilder must be delighted with his side's effort so far.
15'
Another decent spell for the visitors. Gabriel has been busy down his right side in recent moments. Robinson delivers a long throw into the Arsenal box, it comes off Burke and Arsenal have a goal-kick.
12'
Bellerin plays a nice pass into the feet of Aubameyang, but Egan makes a terrific tackle and then wins the foul inside his own penalty area. Great defending.
10'
Saka is a wonderful talent and he has already shown his intent to get forward down the left flank from his wing-back position.
9'
Arsenal work a move on the left, with Saka then drawing the foul from Lundstram. Willian plays it short to Ceballos whose poor cross is headed clear.

6'
The Blades are asking the questions now. Arsenal concede a corner from Lundstram's free-kick on the left flank. Lundstram again delivers the set-piece, Luiz can't clear convincingly, but then the offside flag is raised.
5'
An early scare for Luiz, who gets caught on the ball and then appears to pull Burke back. Leno is off his line quickly to clear, but Sheffield United could have had a free-kick there.
3'
Confident is rushing through Arsenal veins. Aubameyang slides a pass down the left for Saka, he looks to centre it, but Egan is well positioned to clear.
2'
A positive start from Arsenal. Aubameyang lifts a lovely pass into the path of Nketiah. With a better first touch he would have been through, but he can't quite trap it and Sheffield United survive.
1st Half
1'
Kick-off! The players take the knee in the ongoing fight against racism and Arsenal then get us started.
13:59
A minute's silence is observed for Sgt Matt Ratana, who was tragically killed last week.

Another amazing result for West Ham!
13:55
Arsenal start in ninth, with six points from their first three games. A win could see them jump as high as second. Sheffield United are third from bottom, but victory could see them move into 14th. Early days of course.
13:50
There are just ten minutes until kick-off at the Emirates! Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last nine league games in London (winning four), the Blades' longest ever run without defeat in the capital.
13:45
Saka on his international call up, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm really proud of my Nigerian heritage. I always watch Nigeria games and wish them all the best and support them all the way but I've seen the process of how England are transforming and I feel like it was right for me to choose England."
