Премьер лигийн дөрөвдүгээр тойргийн хүрээнд “Stadium of Light” цэнгэлдэх хүрээлэнд зочлох Арсенал баг гарааны бүрэлдэхүүндээ дөрвөн өөрчлөлт орууллаа.
Арсенал багийн дасгалжуулагч Микел Артета өнгөрсөн лхагва гарагт Аваргуудын лигт Наполи багийг 1-0-ийн харьцаатай хожсон тоглолтын дараа гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнд Кай Хаверц, Кристос Тзолис, Риккардо Калафиори болон Майлз Льюис-Скелли нарыг дуудаад байна. Тус баг энэ улирлын эхний дөрвөн тоглолтдоо бүгдэд нь хожил байгуулаад байгаа бөгөөд хүснэгтийг тэргүүлэгч Манчестер Сититэй ижил оноотойгоор энэ тоглолтыг эхлүүлж байна.
Сандерленд багийн хувьд өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт Брентфордтой 1-1-ийн харьцаатай тэнцсэн тоглолтын гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнээ хэвээр үлдээлээ. Тус баг эхний гурван тоглолтоос 4 оноо цуглуулаад байгаа бөгөөд Гранит Жака багийнхаа бөмбөг эзэмшилт, дамжуулалт болон боломж үүсгэлтээр тэргүүлж байна.
Тоглолт Бямба гарагт 20:00 цагт эхлэх бөгөөд Арсенал баг Премьер лигийн түүхэнд зургаа дахь удаагаа улирлын эхний дөрвөн тоглолтдоо дараалан ялалт байгуулах зорилготой байна. Статистикийн хувьд Сандерленд сүүлийн 29 тоглолтынхоо ердөө нэгд нь л Арсеналыг хожиж байсан түүхтэй юм.
