Arsenal hosts Sunderland in the EFL Cup quarterfinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 21st at Emirates Stadium (London)
In recent seasons, Arsenal has not impressed with high results. Yes, there was a victory in the FA Cup, but the fans of the club have already forgotten what the Champions League is. There are chances to return to the most prestigious European competition at the end of this season because the Gunners are ranked fourth in the Premier League standings. However, the competition will be serious. In the last round, the Gunners beat Leeds away (1-4), gaining their third victory in a row. The League Cup is a kind of optional course for Arsenal, as no one sets a goal to win this trophy. However, the Gunners do not ignore it. For various reasons, the club will not be able to count on the help of three players.

Seasoned fans of English football will surely remember Sunderland. The club left the elite of English football just four years ago. During this time, the Black Cats managed to be relegated from the Championship, so they are now playing in the third-strongest English division. At the end of this season, the team has chances to gain promotion, as it is ranked third in the First League. Sunderland is the only club outside of the Premier League to make it to the League Cup quarterfinals. In their championship, the Black Cats have not lost seven games in a row.
Arsenal is a clear favorite and will play at home. The main question is how much the League Cup is needed by Arteta's charges when the fight for the top four in the championship is in full swing. The coaching staff of the Gunners will certainly use rotation, but they intend to advance to the semifinals of the tournament. We believe that Sunderland may offer resistance, so we will bet on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
