The Gunners are currently six points ahead at the top of the standings and can extend the gap temporarily with a victory against the Black Cats.
Ahead of the game, Arteta has made five changes to the starting XI.
David Raya returns in goal ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga. He will be eyeing his 13th clean sheet of the Premier League season.
There is one change to the backline with Riccardo Calafiori coming in for Piero Hincapie at left-back. He makes his first league start of the year.
In midfield, Kai Havertz comes in for Eberechi Eze in the central attacking role. He scored a late winner against Chelsea in midweek.
In the final third, Gabriel Jesus replaces Viktor Gyokeres upfront.
Leandro Trossard has got the nod over Gabriel Martinelli on the left wing.
