Arsenal vs Sunderland: Premier League preview

Arsenal have won three matches in a row – one in the Premier League, one in the Champions League and one in the Carabao Cup – since they were turned over at home by Manchester United.

That was their third defeat of the season and they're scrapping away on four fronts. They now have a six-point lead at the top of the league and they look likely to slip up less frequently than chief chasers Manchester City.

These teams met at the Stadium of Light in November and Sunderland became only the third team to take points off the Gunners this season.

Brian Brobbey's dramatic stoppage-time equaliser might be the moment it became clear that the Black Cats intended to hang around.

Sunderland's last win against Arsenal was in the FA Cup in February 2012. Their last league victory over the Gunners was in November 2009, when Darren Bent scored the only goal of the game.

Last time Sunderland beat Arsenal in the league in London was in the old First Division in November 1983. Pat Jennings was in goal for the Gunners that afternoon. His professional career started in 1963.

But that was then. Regis Le Bris has the Mackems purring. They're eighth in the Premier League with 14 matches to go, surely a state of affairs every Sunderland fan would have taken after watching the six previous promoted teams relegated back to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Losses against West Ham United and Brentford serve as a reminder that this is still a cutthroat league, but Sunderland's form since winning the Wear-Tyne derby in December backs up their top-half claim.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Arsenal 2-1 Sunderland

We can't see past an Arsenal win but we're reasonably sure they won't be allowed to make light work of Sunderland on Saturday.
