The match officials have already been confirmed, with John Brooks appointed as referee. Stuart Atwell is on VAR.
This season, Brooks is running at about 4.8 yellows a match, above average, despite giving an average 21.7 fouls per game. He took charge of three Arsenal games, with Arsenal winning both at home and drawing 1-1 at Brentford.
Brooks was referee for two Sunderland games last season, both away and both against Everton. They drew the first 1-1 in the FA Cup before beating the Toffees 3-1 in the league.
