With the Blades looking distinctly blunt at the moment – 19th in the second division and falling – this is a great opportunity for Wenger’s other batch of Youngsters to dish out a pasting in the style.

Admittedly, Sheffield beat us 1-0 last season thanks to a moment of Lehmanic impulsiveness, but they also had to resort to various nasty unpunished tricks like punching VanP in the stomach.

This year, as we all know, we can deal with the physical stuff. So, yes, it is another grim, cold, probably wet, Up North kick-fest — think Liverpool with no class – but with Denilson, Diarra, Diaby, Bendtner etc. all raring to showing their stuff, I predict we can romp this 3-1.

Over to you tacticians…
