Arsenal host Sunderland at the Emirates this Saturday, looking to protect their six‑point lead at the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners have lost just once in their last 15 matches, while Sunderland, sitting eighth in their first season back in the top flight, arrive with ambition but only two wins in their last nine.
With Arsenal chasing the title and Sunderland eyeing Europe, this clash could be tighter than expected.
