Three things to watch out for in Arsenal v Sunderland

Rotation

Wenger would do well to freshen up the side, and judging by the amount of fatigue and tired legs, he really has very little choice. The boss has employed the same lineup for the past seven matches and pretty much the same lineup for the past three months. The legs are far more jaded now than they were against United, and I expect several changes. Santi Cazorla has the most appearances of any Arsenal player this season and looked fatigued against United. Look out for Wilshere of Rosicky to take his spot, or possibly even Chambers. Gibbs and Gabriel will most likely play as well, as Koscielny is reportedly suffering from a bout of flu.

Walcott could make his 300th appearance if he plays today, and he just may get that opportunity from the start, seeing as how Giroud has looked jaded lately and Welbeck and Chamberlain have yet to return.
