Arsenal vs Sunderland Preview and Livestream

Many pundits were writing off Arsenal’s young team after a poor start to the season. However, Mikel Arteta’s side have bounced back and responded well by getting into the top 4 of the Premier League for the first time in 17 months. Arteta has built his team around a young, exciting core and their style of play has been pleasing to the eye in recent times. They will look at the EFL Cup as a great opportunity for silverware this season. As such, they must surely put in their all to bring the trophy home to the Emirates.

It is hard to imagine that the Sunderland we knew and adored for their resilience and grit from the Premier League a few years ago is well and truly gone. Things have been a little bit more steady as the Black Cats continue to push for promotion from League One, the third tier of English football after their takeover by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus last February. But looking at the quality of their squad, it seems pretty far-fetched to think their journey will continue past the quarter-final stage this season in the cup.

Arsenal vs Sunderland takes place at the Emirates Stadium in Turin on Tuesday, 21st December 2021 at 07:45 PM GMT. This means that the game will start at 12:45 PM EST and 11:45 AM PST on the same day- 21st December.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Sunderland and Team News

Injuries: Arsenal are in quite a good place at the moment in terms of injuries, with none of their current first team players facing any issues. Only Sead Kolašinac and Bernd Leno continue to be long-term absentees for the Gunners. The rest are fit and raring to go, but Mikel Arteta may field a weaker team this time.

Suspensions: It is unclear how long striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains suspended by the club over disciplinary issues, having also been stripped of the captaincy for the same, and thus it is difficult to say whether he will be considered for selction against Sunderland.
