Sunderland have managed to skip past tough opposition in the League Cup, and in the next round they will be up against another tough opponent, Arsenal. The Premier League side hosts the game at the Emirates Stadium, eyeing a fourth straight win after a good run in the recent matches. The Gunners are coming from an impressive performance and 4-1 win over Leeds United in a Saturday league game. They should be able to switch attention to this one easily. Going to this game we expect that Arsenal will bring in some changes to the team in preparation for the busy Christmas period ahead. They have scored in each of their last six matches, and in the last 10 they’ve only failed to score against Liverpool. At home, Arsenal have done well this season; they are unbeaten in 10 and in each of their last five matches there, they’ve kept clean sheets.

Sunderland head into this game looking to cause another upset, after eliminating QPR in the previous round. It went all the way to penalties before the League One side claimed their spot here. Going to this game, Sunderland have one clean sheet in the last five matches and have failed to score in one of the five. In three of their last five matches both teams have scored. In two of those five matches, they’ve been able to score two or more goals while away from home they haven’t managed a clean sheet in five. This will be tough for them as they head to the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal have done quite well. They have one win in the five away matches, and three of those five away games have produced over 2.5 goals.
