Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's Premier League action as we kick-off at the Stadium of Light where basement side Sunderland host high-flying Arsenal as the Gunners look to return to the top of the table before Manchester City play at 3pm.
So, the two teams at opposite ends of the country and opposite ends of the table start out Premier League weekend.
Arsenal have been on a run of fine form lately, whereas it is The Black Cats worst ever start to a top flight season. Only a win here today for Moyes's men would hoist them off the bottom spot, so they will be battling for safety this afternoon.
The visitors are unbeaten against Sunderland in the last 13 meetings, but this is the Premier League and as we know - anything can happen.
Stay tuned, you won't want to miss this...
