Sunderland
- Mikel Arteta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are still short of fitness and may not be available for Arsenal in their midweek meeting with Sunderland.
- Danny Welbeck and Mathieu Debuchy are doubts, though will be assessed closer to kick off.
- Arsene Wenger may be tempted to name an unchanged XI from the one that secured a point at Old Trafford on Sunday.
- Billy Jones was forced off in the 0-0 draw with Leicester at the weekend and is expected to miss out for the visitors here.
- Ricky Alvarez, Liam Bridcutt, Jordi Gomez and Wes Brown are all sidelined and will all sit out the trip to capital.
- Dick Advocaat should retain a similar looking formation to the one he has used in recent weeks.
