Arsenal vs Sunderland Main Match Info

Arsenal vs Sunderland Moneyline Prediction

Sitting atop the table with 53 points, Arsenal are in great form. At home, they’ve generated 22.50 xG, averaging 2.33 goals scored per game while conceding only 0.67.

Sunderland have been a great story following their promotion, but their away form has been poor. Across 12 road matches, they’ve netted six goals and conceded 17. They’ve also lost their last four H2H meetings at the Emirates. 

Tactically, Arsenal’s set-piece and territory pressure should keep Sunderland defending deep for long spells. The hosts will also be buoyed by their recent progression to the EFL Cup final and should have the confidence to follow that up with another victory. 

Arsenal vs Sunderland Player Prop

Viktor Gyökeres has recorded six goals from 7.08 xG in the Premier League, alongside 35 shots (12 on target) and 98 touches in the opposition box. His league shot rate sits at 2.15 per 90, with a goal every 5.83 shots.

Sunderland have allowed 33.4 xG and conceded 26 goals in the league. In a game where Arsenal should pin the visitors back, Gyökeres stands to benefit because his shots are likely to come from closer, higher-value zones.

The Gunners are expected to dominate. That means repeated entries, second balls, and cutbacks, which should all work in Gyökeres’ favour.

Arsenal vs Sunderland Same Game Parlay

Arsenal to Win: Sunderland haven’t won an away game since October 2025. Arsenal, meanwhile, lead the table and have the second-best home record in the Premier League. The hosts should be able to claim their fourth consecutive win.

Viktor Gyökeres to Score: Gyökeres has netted three goals in his last five appearances across all competitions. With the Gunners expected to dominate, the Swedish forward should see an increased volume of chances in the penalty box.

BTTS: Arsenal’s defence hasn’t been as reliable as it was earlier in the season. Sunderland have fast wingers that will be useful during counterattacks, giving them a chance to get on the scoresheet.

Arsenal vs Sunderland Team News

Arsenal Team News 

This week’s biggest story has been Arsenal’s progression to the EFL Cup final, sealed by a late goal from Kai Havertz. Form-wise, the team are on a three-match winning streak, with two clean sheets against Leeds and Chelsea and eight goals across this span. 

Arsenal’s main concern is on the right side. Bukayo Saka has picked up a muscle issue. Without him, the Gunners lose a high-volume final-third threat and their most reliable right winger for isolations and cutbacks. Thus, the attack can tilt slightly left and become more dependent on central combinations.

In midfield, the absence of Mikel Merino is also significant. His versatility allows Arteta to rotate without losing duel-winning ability or second-ball control.

In addition to Merino and Saka, the Gunners will also be without youngster Max Dowman. He is recovering from an ankle injury.

Sunderland Team News

Over their last three league matches, Sunderland have conceded four goals from roughly 5.1 xGA, while generating just 2.4 xG themselves. Away from home, the team average only 0.50 goals scored and 1.42 conceded per game.

Tactically, the Black Cats struggle most when forced into a low block for long spells. Their press is effective in short bursts, but once pinned back, clearances turn into repeat waves of pressure. That’s why they’ve conceded in eight of their last nine encounters: defensive transitions and second-ball coverage break down late in halves. 

Brian Brobbey has been the standout player this season. The Dutch forward has netted five goals, including two in the last three outings.

As for injuries, Sunderland will be without captain Granit Xhaka, Bertrand Traore, and Jocelin Ta Bi
