Alexis Sanchez v Lamine Kone
Lamine Kone is Sunderland’s best defender whilst Alexis Sanchez is Arsenal’s best attacker so the winner of this battle could be crucial. The Chilean battled away against Middlesbrough to no avail but will feel that experience will have prepared him for another battle at the Stadium of Light. If he can escape the attentions of Kone for just one moment the ball should find it’s way into the back of the net.
