Sunderland vs Arsenal team news
Sunderland did not suffer any fresh injuries in their 1-1 draw against Everton on Monday night. Therefore, manager Regis Le Bris could choose from the same squad for the visit of Arsenal.
Gabriel Jesus is a longer-term absentee, Kepa Arrizabalaga is a doubt but Martin Zubimendi should be fine to return after missing the win over Slavia Prague through suspension.

Sunderland vs Arsenal prediction
The Gunners are in a groove right now and all signs point towards another win on the road to place greater importance on the showdown between Man City and Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium less than 24 hours later.
Sunderland are by no means a push over, particularly at home, but we expect Arsenal to have that extra bit of quality in between both boxes.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
