Sunderland vs Arsenal Lineups Today: Confirmed Starting XI, Team News and Live Updates

Sunderland vs Arsenal lineups will be closely watched as the two sides meet at the Stadium of Light on Saturday night. Kick-off is at 8:00 PM BST, with Arsenal looking to protect their perfect Premier League start and Sunderland aiming to make home advantage count against the reigning champions.

Both managers have selection issues after midweek fixtures. Régis Le Bris must deal with injuries to Habib Diarra and Romaine Mundle , while Mikel Arteta is still without William Saliba . Arsenal also have fitness concerns involving Jurriën Timber and Cristhian Mosquera .

The Sunderland vs Arsenal team news could therefore bring changes before kick-off. Granit Xhaka is set to face his former club, while Arsenal have several regular starters expected to return after their Champions League win in Naples.
