Arsenal will look to keep their 100% record in the new Premier League season intact when they travel to face Sunderland, who have endured a mixed start to life in the top flight. The Black Cats lost to Ipswich Town before bouncing back against Fulham and then sharing the spoils with Brentford. Midfielder Habib Diarra is sidelined, leaving Sunderland without one of their midfield options. Despite their inconsistency, they have won 80% of their last five home matches.
The Gunners, on the other hand, produced a brilliant display against Chelsea, with Martin Odegaard particularly impressive in midfield. Bukayo Saka is also finding his best form, providing another reason to back Arsenal for an away victory. In William Saliba’s absence, summer signing Ezri Konsa should keep his place in the starting XI. Arsenal have won 60% of their last 10 games and boast a 75% away win rate, while they have scored exactly two goals per game on the road. They have also dominated this fixture historically, winning 15 of 25 meetings.
Given Arsenal's perfect start to the season and Sunderland's ups and downs, Away Win should be considered, alongside Saka to Score or Assist and Arsenal to Score First.
Over 1.5 Goals – A safer goals option.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 12 September 2026 at 20:00.
