Arsenal - Sunderland Likely Line-Up

Arsenal - Sunderland Likely Line-Up

With Fabregas, Walcott and Song definitely ruled out, we are running short of midfield options but Diaby should retain his place after impressing against Leyton. I do not think Ramsey will start but he will definitely be in the squad.

At the back, expect Koscielny to shake off a light injury to partner Djourou.

EXPECTED LINE-UP

GK: Sczcesny
RB: Sagna
CB: Djourou
CB: Koscielny
LB: Clichy

CM: Wilshere
CM: Denilson
CM: Diaby

FWD: Nasri
FWD: Arshavin
FWD: Bendtner

SUBS: Almunia, Squillaci, Gibbs, Rosicky, Ramsey, Chamakh, Eboue.
