Raya might beat Schmeichal's record of getting 100 clean sheets in the fewest games possible. Schmiechal did it in 212. Raya has 72 clean sheets in 153 games.

Eberechi Ezi is coming on for Christos Tzolis and Martín Zubimendi is on for Declan Rice.
This is still be played at a terrific pace.

Use 'Get involved' to have your say
Sunderland have never stopped running, but if they play like this every game they’ll be exhausted by December given the amount of extra games they have this season. Could be a long haul of a campaign.
Chris, Durham
Kudos to Mikel Arteta, those half time substitutions were spot on. Kudos to Sunderland too, they have given Arsenal a game.
Sulaimon, Lagos
Some haters will probably say something about 0-1 but if it stays like this then it's a good win and clean sheet. End of the day that's what matters.

Sunderland 0-1 Arsenal
You cannot take your eyes off this.
Jurrien Timber heads into the back of the net from a delicious Martin Odegaard delivery.
Arsenal's celebrations, however, are ruled out by an offside flag.

Former Leeds striker on TNT SportsSaka nearly punished Sunderland there. Saka had it on target that time but not enough on it to beat Roefs.
OFF THE LINEpublished at 21:32 BST 12 September
Sunderland 0-1 Arsenal
A huge chance for Bukayo Saka to settle this.
Saved by Robin Roefs. From the corner, Dan Ballard makes a brilliant headed clearance off the line.

Around 15 minutes plus stoppages left.

Former Leeds striker on TNT SportsGuimaraes aside, Arsenal's finishing isn't quiet at their usual level.
Sunderland have had periods of the game where they've had sustained periods of play and high possession on the other end of the pitch.

Play has been stopped - to replace the ball which has burst.
Was that caused by the ferocity of Bruno Guimaraes' shot for the goal?

Whatever the outcome, Arsenal certainly know they have been in a game.

Former Leeds striker on TNT SportsThis is a big game for Xhaka. He's such a big player for this Sunderland side, also spent some time at Arsenal.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:27 BST 12 September
Sunderland 0-1 Arsenal
The temperature is reaching boiling point inside the Stadium of Light.
Granit Xhaka slides into Bruno Guimaraes and is immediately shown a yellow card.
The Sunderland captain reacts by shouting at referee John Brooks.

Arsenal have a spring in their step.
A glorious move almost rips the Sunderland defence in half.
The home side just about get it away but the Gunners look ever so dangerous on the counter.

David Raya used to play for Southport.
As a Southport fan, I wish David Raya was still playing for Southport.
