Saturday's EPL action spans around ten hours, and somewhere in the middle of that action comes a game from the North East of England, where Sunderland and Arsenal will lock horns. Having impressed with their hard-to-beat style since jumping up to the Premier League, the Black Cats will be hoping to make the Stadium of Light and unlucky venue for the Gunners, who continue to lead the way at the top of the table.
The hosts head into Saturday's clash having lost none of their last three, two of which they've won, including a victory over Chelsea, which likely means that Regis Le Bris' men will be feeling confident. In truth, we should see two confident sets of players take to the field, with the visitors coming off the back of a pleasing UCL win in the week. Can Mikel Arteta's men make it 11 wins on the bounce in all competitions?

Our Sunderland vs Arsenal Prediction
Let's be honest, the hosts are all about solidity, while the visitors tend to prefer taking the low-key route too, so it's curious to me that 'Under 2.5 Goals' isn't priced a little less leniently in the early betting. We know that the Black Cats won't open up too much for fear of being giving away cheap goals, which is why most of their games have been fairly low scoring, with only one of their last seven EPL games containing more than two goals.
Four of Arsenal's last five away games in the Premier League have also contained less than three goals, with the Gunners keeping four clean sheets during that time.
Our Sunderland vs Arsenal Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
