Sunderland face their toughest test yet since returning to the Premier League as Arsenal visit the Stadium of Light on Saturday evening.
So how will Régis Le Bris set up for the game and who will be on his bench? Here, we make our predictions...

18. Sub - Luke O'Nien

19. Sub - Omar Alderete
Will be be back in the squad after a concussion. Dennis Cirkin is also available again after injury but Le Bris has the luxury of easing him back gently, as with Romaine Mundle who is close to returning from a hamstring issue. Alderete would have been a strong contender for a start but having picked up a red card in Paraguay's first friendly of the international break, his lack of match minutes might mean Le Bris opts to ease him back in more gently. | Sunderland's Omar Alderete.
