Arsenal are set to welcome Sunderland on 7 February 2026 in Matchweek 25 of the English Premier League, as the two sides meet again after their dramatic draw earlier this season.
The previous encounter between Arsenal and Sunderland ended in a 2–2 draw on 9 November at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland impressed by holding the title contenders. This time, Arsenal will host the match at home and will be eager to secure all three points.
Match Preview
Despite playing away from home, Sunderland should not be underestimated. The Black Cats have already shown they can trouble Arsenal, and they could once again play a key role in affecting the Premier League title race.
Arsenal enter this match in strong form after knocking Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup, a result that boosted confidence within Mikel Arteta’s squad. Their recent performances suggest they remain one of the strongest teams in the league.
Sunderland, however, have experienced a dip in form in recent weeks. The visitors will need a disciplined performance and improved consistency if they hope to earn a positive result against one of the league’s top sides.
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal are expected to be without several important players. Bukayo Saka is likely to remain sidelined until the end of the month as he continues to recover from a hip injury.
Martin Ødegaard is also a doubt, having missed Arsenal’s last two matches, including the Carabao Cup clash against Chelsea, due to a minor injury.
Sunderland Team News
Sunderland will be without Granit Xhaka, who continues his recovery from an ankle injury, although there have been encouraging signs of progress.
Meanwhile, Arthur Masuaku, Bertrand Traoré, and Jocelin Ta Bli are still a few weeks away from returning to the first-team squad and are unlikely to feature in this match.
