Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Sheffield United

Arsenal will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Gunners had made a perfect start to the campaign before running into champions Liverpool on Monday night, taking the lead at Anfield but ultimately falling to a 3-1 defeat.

Mikel Arteta's side got revenge of sorts with a penalty-shootout victory at the same venue just three days later to knock Liverpool out of the EFL Cup, though, and they will now host a Sheffield United team without a point or even a goal yet this season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: October 4 (vs. Sheffield United)

Sokratis Papastathopoulos has been on the brink of a return in the last couple of games but fell short of the matchday squad on both occasions. He remains doubtful for this one and may need the international break to get back up to fitness, but Arteta may be able to call upon him if he really needs to.

Arsenal have no players suspended for this match.
