Arsenal XI vs Sunderland - Predicted lineup and team news
Arsenal travels to Sunderland aiming to extend their winning streak to four matches in the Premier League. Despite injury doubts regarding key defenders, manager Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad following a midweek Champions League victory.
Why it matters
Arsenal's strong start to the season makes them a focal point for title contention discussions, and this match tests their squad depth.
Arsenal travel to Sunderland on Saturday looking to make it four wins from four in the Premier League, having already secured five straight victories across all competitions this season.
Mikel Arteta's side beat Napoli 1-0 in the Champions League in midweek and head to Wearside boasting the division's lowest expected-goals-against total. Arsenal have not lost to Sunderland in the Premier League since 2009, a run stretching 17 matches, and won the sides' most recent meeting 3-0 in February.
Cristhian Mosquera (muscle) and Jurrien Timber (groin) are both doubtful for the trip north, while William Saliba (back) remains a long-term absentee. Arteta reported no fresh fitness issues from the Champions League win over Napoli, but is expected to make several changes regardless.
