By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 26 June 2020

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final showdown with Sheffield United.

Arsenal will resume their FA Cup campaign with a trip to Bramall Lane as they prepare to face fellow European hopefuls Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners finally managed to pick up all three points in the Premier League for the first time since the restart on Thursday, with goals from Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock setting Arsenal on their way to a 2-0 victory over Southampton.

Mikel Arteta's side must now turn their attention to the FA Cup as they look to record a 14th triumph in the competition and a potential route into Europe for the 2020-21 campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with the Blades.
