Arsenal

Arsenal interim boss Freddie Ljungberg: "It's a proud day for me and my family. To have an opportunity to lead them out i'm very excited.

"I felt this was the best balance of our team to play this way.I think every manager has to tailor [how to play] to the players he has. Of course you have to tinker with the system to make it work. I felt this was a good line-up

"The captaincy has had so many discussions and I thought I should leave it as it is, Auba's (Aubameyang) a great captain and a great player. (Granit Xhaka is the former captain)

"Everybody knows in football that the three points are most important but at the same time I want the players to enjoy themselves as well. Maybe that is just me being old school."

It's a beautiful sunny day down at Norwich - a great day for a trip to the owl sanctuary.

Anyway, we are 15 minutes away from kick-off in the two 14:00 GMT games.

Both managers have been complimentary towards each other in the pre-match interviews, with their teams having played one another in the Championship two seasons ago. Both games were won by the home team and there was a sending off in each match.

Nuno Espirito Santo said: "We are doing ok, we are improving our performances through the season even though it's a tight schedule and we are given it everything we have. We know Sheffield United, having played them in the Championship, and they have a fantastic manager in Chris and very good players."

There are very few players, if any, in the Sheffield United team that have spent all their lives in the Premier League.There are no egos in that dressing room.

"They are all Chris Wilder's players and he knows what they will do on the pitch and in the dressing room. At Premier League level you cannot have one or two bad apples. It just doesn't work.

Unai Emery was in charge for a year and a half, he had nine different captains. That goes to show me he did not think there were any leaders in there.

But it can’t be all down to the manager, sometimes a group of players have to look at themselves.

But I don’t see that at Arsenal: they don’t have leaders or characters like Viera or Tony Adams and that’s why they are struggling at the moment but good luck to Ljungberg.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is the first manager to go unbeaten in his first six away Premier League games since Luiz Felipe Scolari in 2008-09 with Chelsea.

Arsenal have won none of their last eight Premier League games in which Mesut Ozil has started (D4 L4) and haven't won an away league game with him in the starting XI since September 2018 v Newcastle (2-1, with Ozil scoring the winning goal).

I am glad to see Mesut Ozil playing in that No 10 position.

He came on Thursday and played in the wrong position.

The performance on Thursday was one of the worst I’ve seen and Freddie Ljungberg had to make some changes: it is now up to the players to show some reaction and that they want to fight for the Arsenal badge

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo makes one change to the side which drew 3-3 with Braga on Thursday and it's a big one. With Romain Saiss suspended, in comes 22-year-old defender Max Kilman for his full Premier League debut.

Wolves XI: Rui Patricio, Kilman, Coady, Dendoncker, Doherty, Jota, Neves, Joao Moutinho, Jonny, Traore, Jimenez.

Substitutes: Vallejo, Pedro Neto, Cutrone, Ruddy, Ruben Vinagre, Otasowie, Cundle.

Sheff Utd XI: Henderson, Basham, O'Connell, Egan, Baldock, Lundstram, Fleck, Norwood, Stevens, McGoldrick, Mousset.

After Thursday's disastrous showing against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, it was hard to see how much longer Arsenal could persevere with Unai Emery. We didn't have to wait long to find out.

It's seven matches without a win now, something that never happened in more than 1,200 matches under Arsene Wenger. More than that, it was about the level of performance and lack of progress or clear plan and identity during Emery's tenure.

Freddie Ljungberg is the man in temporary charge as they head to Carrow Road. Norwich, who secured an excellent win at Everton last week but have lost the last three at home (conceding 10 goals in the process), may find themselves up against reinvigorated opponents.

Well, you might be able to, but it's unlikely.

I have a warm glow about this game and that's not because my winter intake of Ready Brek has begun (ask your parents)..., externalI just have a real affection for these clubs at the moment.

Undaunted by the big boys, their respective styles are entertaining AND effective.

Impressive on their return to the Premier League last season, Wolves have kicked on and embraced the challenge of European football too.

Sheffield United may be bereft of star names but they play with a togetherness that every supporter yearns to see from their team. It's almost as if their manager is a fan..., external

Bring it on.

It was a disappointing result and performance for Arsenal in the Europa League and this game might be too soon to see a big change in performance.

Prediction: 1-1

Silvio: Quique and Unai are below average managers with nothing to give to English football. Premier League is better without them.

Arvind: Marco Silva should be available in a few hours...

Daniel Farke makes one change to his Norwich side who beat Everton last weekend as Ibrahim Amadou comes in for Alex Tettey, who is unavailable due to personal reasons.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Aarons, Godfrey, Zimmermann, Byram; Trybull, Amadou; McLean, Cantwell, Hernandez; Pukki.

Subs: Fahrmann, Lewis, Stiepermann, Buendia, Vrancic, Roberts, Srbeny.

Jeremy: What a pathetic club and a terrible example to young people trying to build their careers. Will they announce the new manager and his sacking on the same day
