There’s plenty at stake in opening fixture of Gameweek 10, with Alexis Sanchez heading into the clash with Sunderland sitting at the summit of our Captain Poll, seemingly backed by thousands to end a run of three outings without a goal.
Sanchez and Arsenal will have to perform without the presence of Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla, who both miss out through injury – a bitter blow for almost 500,000 managers who jumped on Walcott’s potential over the previous two Gameweeks.
Sunderland sit at the bottom of the table and will inevitably look to Jermain Defoe for goals; he’s blanked in his last three Gameweeks as he bids to breach an Arsenal back four that’s conceded in just one of their last eight matches in all competitions.
