Sunderland are the visitors to the Emirates on Sunday and after that loss to Spurs before the international break, three points will once more be top of the agenda as we look to clamber up from 15th position in the table and our improve on our dismally woeful current 7 points from 7 games. Laurent Koscielny, Johan Djourou, and Sebastian Squillaci have all been passed fit to bolster the defence whilst Carl Jenkinson looks to stand in for long term absentee Bakary Sagna at right-back. Aaron Ramsey has also been ruled out and joins Jack Wilshere, Abou Diaby and Thomas Vermaelen on the treatment table so Tomas Rosicky faces a late fitness test as he looks to partner Mikel Arteta in centre-midfield.
For Sunderland, the black cats will have to do without on-loan Gunner Nicklas Bendtner so Stephen Sessegnon will lead the attack with ex-Arsenal midfielder Sebastien Larsson on set piece duty for Steve Bruce's side.
A good defensive display will be imperative and at home, you'd have to fancy us for the win. Score prediction? 2-0 Arsenal.
