Arsenal approach this game after a fantastic performance against Leeds United at Elland Road. Arteta’s boys were merciless against the Peacocks as they achieved a stunning 4-0 win away from home. Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus scored for the visiting team while Leeds’ goalkeeper Darlow had the bad luck to score himself an own goal.

Mikel Arteta has a great depth in the squad, so he could rotate the line-up against Sunderland on Saturday. Players like Odegaard, Calafiori, Gabriel Jesus and Eze could start.

Arsenal’s manager has to plan his rotations carefully because on Tuesday his team will face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup 1/2-finals. His task is to keep the team as fresh as possible.
