Three things to watch out for in Arsenal v Sunderland

Gabriel returns

Speaking of rotation, Gabriel is expected to replace Koscielny alongside Mertesacker, and we should get another glimpse of our man in action. Gooners have been crying out for more Gabriel sightings, and we may get our wish today. He will be raring to go, having missed quite a bit of football lately, and will relish this chance I’m sure.

I expect a strong performance from our Samba boy today. He will have plenty to do against a Sunderland side desperate to take something from the match.
