Arsenal take on the visitors Sunderland in the round 25 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 7th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal are delivering strong results across all competitions right now. Under Arteta, the Gunners first proved themselves in cup competitions and then reclaimed their status as one of the league’s leading sides. However, after settling into second place in the Premier League for a long time, first behind Manchester City and later only trailing Liverpool, they repeatedly failed to secure a new title. Now they have chances everywhere, and in several tournaments at once. In the Champions League, the English club have emerged as the clear number one favorite, winning match after match. In the League Cup, they reached the final without major difficulties, defeating Chelsea in both semifinal games. Still, the Premier League remains the top priority, where they have managed to keep their closest rivals at a distance. Recently there have been a few slip-ups, including a deserved defeat to Manchester United. On the other hand, they responded convincingly by beating Leeds in the latest round by a comfortable margin. Overall, Arsenal’s form remains consistently high, especially against teams from the lower half of the table. Their ability to bounce back quickly after setbacks underlines their current stability.

Sunderland have plenty of achievements, but mostly in the distant past, while recent decades were largely disappointing. At best, they spent years drifting in the Championship. Then came a breakthrough under the new manager Le Bris, who arrived in the summer of 2024 and immediately led the team into the playoff zone, later winning promotion. Moreover, Sunderland started life in the Premier League with a series of positive results and even now, in mid-winter, remain among the contenders for European places. That makes the recent defeat to relegation battlers West Ham all the more surprising. Still, they bounced back with a very confident win over newly promoted strugglers Burnley. In addition, they eliminated Everton in the cup, albeit on penalties. Despite some inconsistency, Sunderland continue to collect points regularly. Their recent performances suggest a team that is not intimidated by top-level competition.
The Gunners recorded five wins and one draw. However, when the sides met for the first time in four years last November, the match ended in a 2–2 draw. The league leaders and main favorites should win without major problems. The bet is on Arsenal to win with a “-1.5 goals” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -1.5 handicap.
