Sint-Truiden fans travel to support Sunderland keeper Mignolet

Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is set for special support this weekend against Arsenal.

A group of around 30 supporters from Mignolet's old club, Sint-Truiden, are crossing the English Channel to see their hero in action in the Barclays Premier League.

"A group from my old team are coming over to support me, which I like very much," Mignolet, who has enjoyed an excellent start to his Sunderland career, told safc.com.

"I hope to see them after the game and say goodbye because I know some of them very well.

"For me though Saturday is just another game which we will be looking to get a good result from. Hopefully we can achieve that."
