Sunderland vs Arsenal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Gunners dominated the proceedings when these sides last faced each other.

Sunderland are now gearing up to take on Arsenal in their matchweek 11 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. The Stadium of Light will witness the entertaining contest between these clubs.

The Black Cats will be at home, but it is not going to make things any easier for them. They have performed decently and are placed fourth on the league table. In their first 10 league matches this season, Sunderland have won five of them. They have not been able to perform well against the Gunners in their last few meetings.

The Mikel Arteta-led side continue their phenomenal run of form. They have been attacking well and their defence has also been on point. Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table and will be high on confidence for their upcoming fixture. Despite being away from home, it is not going to be a tough outing for the Gunners.

Kick-off:

• Location: Sunderland, England

Form:

Sunderland: W-L-W-W-D

Arsenal: W-W-W-W-W

Players to Watch

Wilson Isidor (Sunderland)

The 25-year-old has scored four goals in his 10 EPL appearances this season and will be ready to lead his side in the attacking front yet again. Wilson Isidor will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side in the final third for Sunderland. Even though he is not in his top form, but is likely to cause issues for the opponent’s defence.

Mikel Merino (Arsenal)

The 29-year-old is coming in after scoring a brace for Arsenal in their UEFA Champions League game against Slavia Praha. In the absence of Viktor Gyokeres, Mikel Merino will be ready to lead the visitors in the final third. He looked in good touch and will be coming in with another good performance.
