Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in line for a recall for Arsenal's Premier League trip to Sheffield United on Sunday.

The club captain was dropped for Thursday's crucial Europa League quarter-final first leg with Slavia Prague on the back of some disappointing performances.

However, the striker assisted Nicolas Pepe's goal in the 1-1 draw against Slavia and is expected to be included in the XI at Bramall Lane.

Mikel Arteta will prioritise next week's European tie in the Czech capital over this clash in Yorkshire, which should mean recalls for Calum Chambers and Mohamed Elneny.

An injury sustained by Martin Odegaard on international duty could keep the Norwegian out for a couple more games, so Dani Ceballos may get a chance to impress here.

Arteta needs to find the right balance with his team selection, leaving the Spaniard with a decision to make over Bukayo Saka, who only returned from injury on Thursday.

Arsenal are definitely without defenders Kieran Tierney and David Luiz, both of whom are in a race against time to play again this campaign.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Leno; Chambers, Holding, Gabriel, Cedric; Elneny, Xhaka; Pepe, Ceballos, Saka; Aubameyang
