What is at stake for Sunderland and Arsenal?

Arsenal have made a strong start to the 2026-27 Premier League campaign, posting three straight wins over Coventry City, Aston Villa and Chelsea to collect nine points.

The Gunners are second in the division, behind leaders Manchester City on goals scored, and they will enter this game off the back of a 1-0 success over Napoli in the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta's side have not been at their best early in the campaign but have managed to post four straight wins, so the signs are very positive.

Sunderland, on the other hand, have four points from their opening three games of the campaign, which has left them down in 12th spot.

The Black Cats were last in action in the EFL Cup on September 8, beating Hull City 1-0, so they will also enter this fixture off the back of a midweek match.
