The Gunners are in good form ahead of this cup quarter-final. Last time out they recorded a 4-1 win at injury-ravaged Leeds United on Saturday.

Arsenal had previously beaten both Southampton and West Ham at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal Team News

Sunderland Form


Lee Johnson’s team are in good shape to challenge for the promotion spots in League One. 

They extended an unbeaten run to four games following a  1-1 draw at Ipswich last time out. That came after back-to-back wins against Morecambe and Plymouth Argyle.

Sunderland Team News


Jordan Willis, Luke O'Nien, Dennis Cirkin, Niall Huggins and Aiden McGeady all miss out through injury.
