Arsenal sit just three points off fourth-placed Manchester City with two games left in play in the Premier League and will want to force a victory against already relegated Sunderland.
Arsene Wenger’s men have left it late, as we point out in our Arsenal vs Sunderland preview, but a Champions League finish is still plausible should Pep Guardiola’s men slip up in either of their remaining fixtures.
The hosts have lost just one of their last 16 games at the Emirates in the league, while David Moyes’ side have won just three times away from home all season, pointing firmly in one direction for our Arsenal vs Sunderland predictions.
The Black Cats have failed to score in five of their last seven outings on the road, with the omens not looking good for a team that already know their Premier League fate.
All that Sunderland have to play for is the possibility of not finishing bottom of the table come the close of the campaign, but Arsenal’s rather bigger goal should be enough motivate to thrash the away team.
With Moyes’ side dismal on the road, and the hosts strong at the Emirates and very capable of scoring a few goals against such a poor opposition defence, this should be a foregone conclusion and our Arsenal vs Sunderland picks reflect that.
