Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Arsenal v Sheffield United

  Arsenal are preparing to face Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday, October 4. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. Lawrenson has predicted Arsenal to celebrate a 2-0 win. "Still no points and no goals for Sheffield United so far this season. Liverpool's Rhian Brewster is apparently the man Blades boss Chris Wilder wants to bolster his forward line, and they definitely need to strengthen there. "As I've said before, the Blades have got Championship strikers who have done brilliantly for them - but they basically need a Danny Ings to lead their line. Mind you, so does half the Premier League. "I know Arsenal lost at Anfield on Monday but I thought they were really competitive and they had a purpose about the way they played. "The tempo they played at was good too. Yes, they were beaten by a very good Liverpool team but another performance like that will secure the points this time."
