The jammed-packed fixture list continues for Arsenal on Saturday with a trip to Sunderland and the Stadium of Lights.
The Gunners are currently one of the hottest clubs in Europe, winning their first four matches by a combined score of 10-1. On the other side, the Black Cats are 1-1-1 in the Premier League, with their only win has been against league newcomers Hull City.
Sunderland’s manager, Regis Le Bris, has former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka leading his club on the pitch.
With that said, here is my predicted starting XI for Mikel Arteta on Saturday…
[4-3-3]
Tzolis, Havertz, Saka
Rice, Odegaard, Guimaraes
Calafiori, Gabriel, Konsa, White
Raya
Predicted final score: Sunderland 0 – ARSENAL 3

Arsenal defeated Napoli, 1-0, on Wednesday to win the Gunner’s 13th straight League Phase match in the UCL. Martin Odegaard scored the winning goal.
Mikel Arteta after the win over Napoli, “We fully deserved the three points. The performance probably doesn’t reflect the result, the team was superb.”
So far this season, the Gunners have scored 10 goals from open play, and 0 goals from set pieces.
