[Teams] Sunderland vs Arsenal: Confirmed Line-ups

Arsenal have made the long trip North to face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this afternoon and we have the confirmed teams.

Arsene Wenger will be looking to build on last weeks 7-1 demolition of Blackburn but will face a stiff test in the Black Cats, who are the country’s in form team under new boss Martin O’Neill.

Wenger has resisted the temptation to start Kieran Gibbs, who’s fit after a long injury lay off, as the Gunners boss makes only one change from last week with Sagna in for Coquelin at right back.

Here are the confirmed teams:

Sunderland Team

Mignolet, Bardsley, Richardson, O’Shea, Turner, Larsson, McClean, Colback, Gardner, Sessegnon, Campbell.

SUBS: Bridge, Wickham, Dong-won, Meyl,er Kyrgiakos, Elmohamady, Westwood.

Arsenal Team

Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Van Persie.

SUBS: Fabianski, Gibbs, Coquelin, Ramsey, Arshavin, Benayoun, Henry.

We’ll have video highlights up shortly after the game, so check back later.
