Venue : Stadium of Light
K.O Time : 5:30pm

Arsenal
Fresh off from the 6-0 thrashing of Braga in the UCL, Arsenal visit Sunderland at the Stadium of light hoping to keep pressure on leaders Chelsea and get all 3 points.

The Gunners have a potent attacking force at their disposal, but the main key to their ability is the midfield partnership between Andrei Arshavin and Francesc Fabregas.

Upfront, Marouane Chamakh has been impressive so far in the campaign, getting goals and setting up a few. Players like Vela and Walcott are gradually stepping up.

Arsenal are without Diaby,Walcott, RVP, Bendtner and Djorou. .

Sunderland
On the other hand, Sunderland will have to make do without their suspended captain Lee Cattermole for the match, after being dismissed in the opening day match against Birmingham City, the midfielder was red-carded in the clash with Wigan Athletic last Saturday for two bookable offences.

Striking Options - Sunderland
Darren Bent was the club’s leading goalscorer last season as his 25 strikes across all competitions helped to secure another season in the top flight for the Black Cats. He has scored two league goals already this season, but the pressure for him to deliver in front of the opposition goal has become a little less intense for the England international with the arrival of Asamoah Gyan.

The Ghana striker was signed from Rennes for a club record fee of £13m before the transfer window closed. He has already begun to repay Sunderland boss Steve Bruce’s faith in him after he scored in the 1-1 draw against Wigan.

Though Sunderland can boast a pair of quality strikers, they will struggle to pick up any points against one of the league’s big guns this weekend.

Any which way. . We hope for an injury-free match.

3-1 to the Arsenal

Victory is guarantee for the GUNNERS. Sunderland cannot stop the GUN from blazing

My confidence is in Him so 3 points all the way.
too_soon where are u now oooo?Just pray and fast be4 u make that prediction ooooo and it must be positive

You might want to review the kick off time V3. . . .

How i would have loved for Cattermole to be available and cop a red card as early as the 6th minute

It is going to be a tough match but just like in Ewood Park,i hope we will scrape through.

Sun 1 vs Assanal 0

^^ all these fake fans who cant admit that arsenal is the club they really love. They follow anythin concernin arsenal like zombies.

i'll understand if we dont keep a clean sheet cos its away from home and Gyan and Bent are a big threat. But we will grab 3. I predict 4-1 in favour of Gunns

Any form of victory will do
