Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has enjoyed great success since taking charge at the Stadium of Light, despite a lengthy list of those injured in battle.
Marcos Angeleri (knee), Nicklas Bendtner (face), Titus Bramble (Achilles), Wes Brown (knee), Lee Cattermole (hamstring), Matthew Kilgallon and David Vaughan (both ankle) are all sidelined for the upcoming clash.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger also has a few players unavailable, as Abou Diaby (muscle), Carl Jenkinson (back), Andre Santos and Jack Wilshere (both ankle) remain in the treatment room. Meanwhile, Gervinho is away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Marouane Chamakh has returned from international duty after Morocco were eliminated from the tournament in Africa at an early stage. However, he is suffering from fatigue and is a doubt for the upcoming clash against the Black Cats.
Kieran Gibbs has returned from a hernia problem, but is unlikely to return to the starting line-up straight away.
