Arsenal return to Premier League action against Sunderland in a bid to continue their unbeaten run.
Mikel Arteta’s side are six points clear at the top of the table ahead of title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.
The Gunners travel to the Stadium of Light on the back of a 3-0 win against Slavia Prague in the Champions League.
Arsenal are undefeated in their last seven league matches and have also beaten Brighton to reach the Carabao Cup quarter final.
Now they are on the hunt for a ninth victory in the Premier League and will remain top of the Premier League table no matter the results going into the international break.
The last time Arsenal visited the Stadium of Light was in October 2016 where they beat the hosts 4-1 in the Premier League.
The Gunners will be without six of their key players travelling to face Sunderland.
Viktor Gyökeres, Martin Ødegaard, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus will be unavailable due to injuries.
Meanwhile, hosts Sunderland have been the surprise package of the season so far with their impressive form in the Premier League.
The newly promoted side sit fourth in the Premier League after five wins, two draws and three losses.
The Black Cats are unbeaten in their last three league matches with victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea, while earning a draw against Everton.
Régis Le Bris’ men are winless in their last 15 Premier League meetings against Arsenal, drawing five and losing 10.
The last time Sunderland beat Arsenal at the Stadium of Light was a 1-0 victory in November 2009.
The hosts sit fourth in the Premier League and could go second in the table if they beat Arsenal and will depend on other results.
Sunderland will be without Habib Diarra, Aji Alese, Romaine Mundle, Leo Hjelde and Dennis Cirkin due to injuries.
The match will be live on Sky Sports in the UK with a kick-off time of 17:30 GMT.
