‘The newly-promoted Black Cats are enjoying a strong start to their topflight return, but now face arguably their toughest test of the campaign so far against the high-flying Gunners, who are top of the Premier League table.

Ex-Arsenal midfielder Xhaka spent seven seasons in London and Le Bris hopes Sunderland can use that to their advantage.

“He's useful in different ways. His knowledge about Arsenal is important for us,” Le Bris said.
