The Gunners continue to look untouchable, sitting top of the Premier League with a 100% record in the Champions League league phase after another dominant week.
Mikel Arteta’s side are yet to concede in their last eight games across all competitions. Sunderland, meanwhile, have exceeded expectations since returning to the top flight. Monday’s 1-1 draw with Everton saw the Black Cats finish the round inside the top four, an extraordinary feat for a newly-promoted side.

Over 7 corners
Corners have been a consistent theme in Arsenal’s season so far, and the 1/4 line with Bet365 for over seven corners looks as close to a banker as it gets.
The Gunners have outperformed their opponents in corners in eight consecutive Premier League matches, averaging more than seven per game themselves.
Arteta’s side also lead the league for goals from corners (eight), underlining how central set-pieces have become to their attack. Sunderland’s home games, meanwhile, have averaged just under ten corners per match, with the Black Cats’ often inviting pressure before countering. With Arsenal likely to dominate possession, expect a flurry of corners throughout.
Tip: Over 7 corners @ 1/4
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are more than seven corners in the game between Sunderland and Arsenal.
Arsenal to win
Arsenal look every bit like champions in waiting right now. Their 2/5 price on Bet365 reflects their ruthless form; five straight league wins, all without conceding.
In that stretch, they’ve faced just one shot on target across their last four league games, showing an incredible defensive compactness.
The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League meetings with Sunderland (W10, D5) and have taken maximum points on five of their last six visits to the Stadium of Light. Sunderland’s unbeaten home start will be tested like never before, and given Arsenal’s mix of attacking variety, Arteta’s side look primed to extend their winning streak here.
Tip: Arsenal to win @ 2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Arsenal beat Sunderland regardless of the score
Bukayo Saka to have 2+ shots
Bukayo Saka continues to be Arsenal’s creative and direct outlet, and the 1/5 price at Bet365 for two or more shots is backed strongly by recent trends.
The winger has recorded 2+ shots in four of his last five Premier League matches, including in each of his last three away games.
With Viktor Gyokeres sidelined, even more attacking responsibility falls on the England international, who also managed five shots on during midweek Champions League action against Slavia Prague.
Tip: Bukayo Saka to have 2+ shots @ 1/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Bukayo has at least two shots against Sunderland.
