Arsenal aims to extend its winning streak to 11 matches with a victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in Saturday's Premier League clash. Arsenal, currently on a six-match winning run in all competitions, recently achieved a record eight consecutive clean sheets in the Champions League after a 3-0 win in Prague. The team is top of the Premier League with a six-point lead. Sunderland, meanwhile, has had a strong start to 2025-26, sitting fourth in the table with an unbeaten home record, and recently drew 1-1 with Everton. Sunderland's key players include Granit Xhaka, who scored his first goal for the club, and other new signings making an impact. Arsenal will be missing several key attackers, including Viktor Gyökeres, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Noni Madueke, but Mikel Merino will lead the attack. Arsenal's predicted lineup features Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Trossard, and Merino. Sunderland's lineup is expected to be Roefs, Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Mandava, Xhaka, Sadiki, Traore, Le Fee, and Isidor. The match is expected to be tightly contested, with predictions leaning towards a 0-0 draw, as Sunderland's solid defensive record and Arsenal's injury issues could lead to a cautious game.
