Even after dominating the first few minutes, Arsenal suffered a 0-2 home defeat against Bayern Munich on mid-week but it’s time to put the defeat behind them and concentrate on league as they are about to welcome Sunderland to Emirates on Saturday.
While Sunderland are fighting for their survival, Gunners are just one point behind the league leaders chelsea. Both the teams will look to outplay each other and it will be a good match to watch for the neutrals.
Thomas Vermaelen and Aaron Ramsey are still out while Kieran Gibbs’s participation is also in doubt as he was injured during the game against Bayern Munich.
Arteta who missed the mid-week champions league game with suspension is back in the squad, and will mostly start ahead of Flamini with Jack Wilshere as his pivot partner. Even Mesut Ozil may get benched after a disastrous showing against the defending European champions. Giroud is also expected to start after being benched for last two games.
Sunderland receive a massive boost as Steven Fletcher is back to training after recovering from an Achilles injury. His inclusion is still a doubt. Carlos Cuellar is also nearing full fitness, but still will miss the trip to London.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Wilshere, Cazorla, Rosicky, Giroud, Ox
Sunderland: Mannone, Bardsley, Dossena, Bridcutt, O’Shea, Brown, Ki, Colback, Johnson, Borini, Fletcher
