Sunderland is the only remaining Premier League club that has not earned a win this season. The team is on a two-game losing slide after getting their second point in the standings with a 1-1 draw against West Brom in round seven.
The Black Cats were nipped by West Ham United, 0-1, on the road at the London Stadium last Saturday as head coach David Moyes' side fell for the seventh time in nine games, BBC Sport reported.
The match looked headed to a goalless draw as the full-time whistle blew, but Hammers vice-captain Winston Reid buried a shot in injury time with what was almost the last kick of the game. Some say there was a hint of offside, but the referee counted the goal to hand Sunderland another loss.
With the defeat, Sunderland remained at the bottom of the standings, three points below fellow bottom three squad Swansea City.
Meanwhile, Arsenal snapped a six-game winning streak after the team was held to a 0-0 tie by newly-promoted side Middlesbrough at the Emirates Stadium last Saturday, as per SkySports.
Boro caught the Gunners with one of their worst performances this season and dominated ball possession throughout the contest. The visitors almost broke the deadlock a couple of times as they actually had the "better of the chances" during the first half.
Head coach Arsene Wenger's team will be looking to redeem themselves in this match against Sunderland as they are expected to win by a wide margin.
