Arsenal haven’t lost a single game away from home in the Premier League in 2016. I guess that’s why the bookmakers make them such a favourites. This being said, their mood isn’t great right now: empty seats and fan protests in the middle of the week prove that. There is a lot of negativity around the club at present, and last weekend’s draw against against Crystal Palace only added to such mentality.
Sunderland are right in the midst of a relegation scrap, but, having secured a very important victory last time out, I think that Big Sam knows what he is doing. And I really like their chances in this one. For that reason I will be backing Sunderland +1 goal handicap at 2.05 with William Hill.
