After a solid draw at Brentford last weekend and a Carabao Cup win over Hull City in midweek, Régis Le Bris has some big decisions to make as Sunderland welcome the Champions to the Stadium of Light on Saturday night.
Here, we predict what his starting XI might look like and who will make it into the bench - with some very tight calls to be on both fronts...
9. RM - Thomas Meunier
Meunier moved into a more advanced role last week and it's hard to see Le Bris changing it this time out given how crucial his height, experience and defensive ability will be against a top Arsenal side. | Getty Images
10. LW - Nilson Angulo
Chemsdine Talbi made a strong cause for inclusion in midweek but Le Bris has shown a lot of faith in Angulo early in the season and will want to give them the opportunity to generate some rhythm and momentum. | Getty Images
11. ST - Brian Brobbey
Isidor's consistent impact from the bench may well give Le Bris a headache in the near future but Brobbey's place in the starting XI is rightly secure for now. | Getty Images
