Arsenal – Sunderland : Preview & Prediction
For these quarter-finals in the English League Cup, there are two teams that used to face each other in the Premier League but times are changing. Fourth in the Premier League, Arsenal receives Sunderland, third in League One. The Gunners are smiling again this season and despite some concerns with Aubameyang who has been excluded from the group, the club are moving in the very right direction with this squad. Mikel Arteta’s men have just won three of their last meetings with… three goals scored on average. Led by the Baby Gunners on fire, Arsenal made the national cups a goal and a place in the semi-finals cannot be refused!
What a pleasure to see Sunderland against a Premier League team again! After difficult years, the Black Cats appear to be doing better this year with a third place in the standings and just four points behind leaders Rotherham United.

In the league, the group coached by Lee Johnson has come a seventh game unbeaten and move confidently to Emirates Stadium. One thing is certain, the teammates of Ross Stewart II will give themselves every chance to come away with the qualification!
