Arsenal handed big injury boost for Sunderland game

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that right-back Ben White is fully fit ahead of the Premier League clash against Sunderland on the road on Saturday night.

The Gunners have had a fantastic start to the season, and they picked up a fifth straight win in all competitions after beating Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday.

White was substituted late in that game with some discomfort, but the manager has confirmed that he is fully fine ahead of the trip to Wearside to face the Black Cats.

Arsenal played out a 2-2 draw against Sunderland on the road last time around. They came from a 1-0 deficit to take a 2-1 lead but conceded a very late equaliser.

Brian Brobbey capitalised on a misunderstanding between Gabriel Magalhaes and David Raya to find the back of the net and deny the Gunners a win.

Arsenal will be aiming to secure maximum points this time around. The Gunners can move to the top of the standings by beating Sunderland.
