Régis Le Bris's Sunderland XI and bench to face Arsenal at the Stadium of Light predicted | OneFootball

Régis Le Bris faces big selection calls as Sunderland host Arsenal at the Stadium of Light on Saturday night.

Sunderland Echo predicts how his starting XI might look and who could make a tight bench after an encouraging week.

Robin Roefs is set to retain the gloves, firmly established as the club’s number one after signing a new and improved deal.

Nordi Mukiele moved to right back at Brentford. He has also excelled at centre back in red and white, but Le Bris tends to want his quality and athleticism at full back when possible, so a change appears unlikely.

Dan Ballard is finding his best form and match sharpness after summer surgery and will be a key player here.

Kevin Danso was put straight into the XI on Saturday, with Le Bris valuing his height, physicality and experience against Brentford. After a very solid showing, it is hard to imagine the head coach changing course.
