In the last Premier League season, Sunderland secured a valuable 2-2 draw at the Stadium of Light against eventual Premier League champions Arsenal. It was one of several surprising results that saw the Black Cats, in their promotion season, even secure a Europa League spot. However, Arteta's team thrashed them 3-0 at the Emirates. Thus, in the head-to-head record, the Gunners' almost absolute dominance continues, having lost only 1 of their last 29 matches against Sunderland.
Midweek, Arsenal beat Napoli 1-0 in Italy, with a goal from Ødegaard, the same player who, before the start of this season, was said to be "going to win everything." For now, they continue to look like one of the strongest teams in Europe: they won the Community Shield with a 3-0 victory over City, and in the Premier League, they defeated Coventry, Aston Villa, and Chelsea, conceding only one goal each. Their Champions League campaign has also begun impressively.
Although Sunderland managed a few respectable draws against top-five sides last season, they have now failed to beat top-five teams in their last 10 matches. They narrowly defeated Hull City in the EFL Cup, and the Gunners match comes just four days later.

Our Sunderland vs Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal have secured their last three victories by a single goal, but with a sense of dominance and minimal pressure. In fact, Napoli didn't even register a clear-cut chance against Arsenal, and goalkeeper David Raya has looked assured on the few occasions he has been called upon.
We could once again see an attack comprised of Saka, Odegaard, and Havertz, with Havertz as the center forward. On the left flank, they would be joined by Tzolis, the Greek player and one of Arsenal's biggest signings from the previous summer transfer window.
Our prediction for Sunderland vs Arsenal is: Arsenal -1.5.
