Sunderland vs Arsenal

Arsenal will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top of the table when they travel to Sunderland for an English Premier League fixture on Saturday.

The hosts have caught the eye this season, but come up against the league leaders, who have been head and shoulders above everyone else so far. Driven by a sturdy defence, the Gunners are expected to claim the upper hand at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland News

It has been an impressive return to the Premier League for Sunderland, who are led by former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka. They have lost just two of their 10 Premier League matches so far and are currently in the top four.

Sunderland head into this clash off the back of a 1-1 home draw with Everton in their previous Premier League fixture. They fell behind early in the first half but struck back through Granit Xhaka just after the restart.

While that result maintains an unbeaten home record for Sunderland, they have picked up just two wins in their last four matches at the Stadium of Light. Regis Le Bris' team have also failed to score in their two defeats this season.

Arsenal News

Arsenal are showing no signs of slowing down, having lost just once across all competitions this season. Mikel Arteta’s men are six points clear at the top of the table and claimed a 2-0 victory at Burnley in their previous fixture.

Things have been particularly smooth for Arsenal lately as they are currently on a 10-match winning run across all competitions. The Gunners have also won their last six away matches, including a 3-0 victory at Slavia Prague in a midweek UEFA Champions League clash.

Arsenal's recent form has been driven by a solid defence that has kept clean sheets in their last eight matches across all competitions. However, they also show plenty of attacking quality and have opened the scoring in the first half in three of their last four matches.

Head to Head

Arsenal have a solid record in this fixture, earning nine wins and three draws in the last 12 matches against Sunderland. The last meeting was an EFL Cup clash in 2021, with the Gunners claiming a 5-1 home victory.

Verdict

Sunderland v Arsenal

Sunderland have impressed this season, but could be in for a rough time against Arsenal, who are levels above everyone else this season. Having scored first in the first half in three of their last four matches, the Gunners could be backed to play out a similar pattern.

Arsenal are driven by a solid defence and could be set for their ninth consecutive clean sheet across all competitions. Having also earned wins to nil in their last eight fixtures, a repeat could be on the cards here.
