Liverpool hosts Manchester City in a Matchweek 6 Premier League clash. The big derby takes place this Sunday, October 11, at 16:30 at Anfield.
Sunderland hosts Arsenal in a Premier League Matchday 4 fixture. The game takes place on Saturday, September 12, at 20:00 UK Time at the Stadium of Light, with The Gunners favored to win.
Match Preview
Sunderland sits in 12th place after the opening three rounds, having collected four points. The Black Cats began the season with a 1:2 away loss to newly promoted Ipswich. Subsequently, Sunderland beat Fulham 1:0 at home and drew 1:1 away at Brentford - a very respectable result. The Black Cats also defeated Hull City 1:0 in the League Cup this week and are looking ahead to the Arsenal match with confidence.
The Gunners remain England's strongest team and are demonstrating their intent to defend last season's title. Arsenal has won all five of their matches so far this season, despite facing tough tests against Manchester City, Chelsea, and Napoli. Having conceded only one goal in five games, Arsenal is once again displaying the defensive solidity that underpinned their championship run. They dominated in Naples on Wednesday and now face another away fixture as they chase a fourth league victory.
Prediction for Sunderland - Arsenal
Sunderland has won only one of their last 29 Premier League meetings with Arsenal. However, after returning to the top flight last season, The Black Cats didn't lose at home against Arsenal - drawing 2:2. Right now, though, it is difficult to score against Arsenal. I believe the guests will continue their perfect run and win the match.
Prediction: 2
