on a Saturday afternoon. A rare occasion.
Three games so far this season in this time slot, all at home. All ended with draws, against Wolves (1-1), Southampton (2-2) and Bournemouth (1-1).
However, on a brighter note, last season we played 6 won 6. The season before it was played 4 won 4. In fact, the last time we lost a 3pm Saturday league match was Saturday November 21st 2015 (a 2-1 defeat to West Brom).
40% of Alexandre Lacazette's League goals this season have come in fixtures in this time slot.
Sheffield United have lost only two of twelve 3pms, both early in the season (Leicester and Southampton, both at Bramall Lane). They have drawn 6 times, winning 4.
Overall, the teams have drawn 18 games between them (10 Arsenal, 8 Sheffield United).
Looks like a draw is the best bet tomorrow.
Arsenal at 3pm...

Always more confident of a win at 3pm, unless Phil Thompson watches us on SS, he seems to be a curse.

The doctors are assessing [Sead] still - he had a normal session yesterday," our head coach said. "He's been in some discomfort, we know this season that he had some little niggles, so we have to assess him and see if we can get him fit for Saturday or he will be out.
"It is something related to his hip, producing some pain in the muscle. He is a tough boy, he wants to train, he wants to play and hopefully he will be available for the weekend.

Think kolasinac and Torreira could potentially both be out. Such a thin squad at the moment if they both miss out

Any updates on Bellerin or Ceballos? becoming virtually impossible for them to ever be back these days

Lawro thinks Sheff Utd will win 2-1.
They have been playing very well and defend properly

Think the same it’s been for a while. Both in full training but not fit enough yet. Can’t remember which one he was talking about but Arteta said before this game one of them needed a few more sessions before they could be considered

AMN has been one of the best players of the Arteta era, so no rush for Bellerin.
