Prediction: Arsenal Wins
Sunderland have been solid at home this season in the league, and that is where their good vibes end. On the road they’ve been as poor as any other of the promoted sides. They have only won two of their 12 away league games, only claiming 10 of their 36 points away from home.
Against Arsenal they will be up against one of the toughest hosts. The Gunners have won 29 of their 53 points at home, and we are expecting a dominant display from them. Our prediction for Arsenal v Sunderland is for Arsenal to win both halves.

Normalcy has returned at Arsenal following a three-match winless run in the league, which was highlighted by a 3-2 loss to Manchester United. A visit to Elland Road returned a 4-0 win against Leeds United in the league.
That was sandwiched by cup wins against Kairat Almaty and, most recently, Chelsea. While it may look like their season has been rocked lately, the Gunners have only lost once in their last 10 matches and won seven times in that run. In the EPL, they have a six-point gap at the top and are odds-on favorites to go all the way and win the title.
Arsenal are still grappling with injuries to a few key players, as they have been all season. Recently they were dealt a Mikel Merino blow with news of a foot injury that’s expected to keep him out for the remainder of the season.
The Spaniard is joined in the treatment room by Bukayo Saka, who isn’t expected to be out for long, but this game comes too soon. Noni Madueke replaced Saka in the Leeds game and went on to grab a goal and an assist. The Englishman should get the nod for this too.

Sunderland pulled a surprise on Arsenal in their first meeting of the season, scoring late for a 2-2 draw at home. Now they travel to London, hoping to keep up such momentum that has them on nine wins in the league.
The Black Cats have been a cut above their fellow promoted peers and showed it in a 3-0 win over Burnley on Monday. That was in a home game, and Sunderland will try to stay switched on away from home. Their last three away league games were in London, and they won none, losing to West Ham and Brentford after drawing with Tottenham.
At Sunderland, the big miss in this game will be Granit Xhaka. The former Arsenal skipper is nursing an ankle injury and will not get to reunite with his former fans. With six goal contributions this season, the Swiss will be missed.
Bertrand Traore continues with his on-and-off season here and will miss the chance to add to his only goal. This time he is out with a knee injury. Defender Omar Alderete is a doubt for this match, having played for 86 minutes in the last outing.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Arsenal -1.5/2
European Handicap: Arsenal Wins
Predicted Scores: 2-0, 2-1, 3-1
Predicted Total Goals: 2, 3, 4
