Arsenal travels to the Stadium of Light on Saturday to face the Sunderland Black Cats, a club that has become the surprise of the Premier League this season.
After promotion into the top division last spring, Sunderland currently stands 7th on the league table, just eight point behind the league-leading Gunners.
Sunderland is lead by former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka.
With that said, Mikel Arteta and his squad will have their hands full on Saturday to keep the winning and clean sheet streaks alive.
Here is my predicted starting XI…
[4-3-3]
Trossard, Merino, Saka
Rice, Eze, Norgaard
Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber
Raya
Predicted final score: Sunderland 0 – ARSENAL 1
