Arsenal are riding high right now, standing unbeaten since their one loss on the first matchday of the Premier League. Now they’re even with league-leading Manchester City on points, and are separated by just one point of goal differential. Things are looking good for the Gunners -- and now they have to make sure to keep it that way.

That means they need to start by beating Sunderland, and to be honest that probably won’t be the most difficult task Arsenal have faced this season. Sunderland are winless in the league this season, with the abrupt departure of Sam Allardyce late in the summer throwing them into chaos, and new manager David Moyes so far proving utterly incapable of stopping the bleeding.
Sunderland have scored just three goals in their last five matches, with four losses and a draw in that time. That draw — against West Brom three league matches ago — was just the second point they earned all season long so far, and everything seems to be going wrong for them right now. Arsenal should be able to exploit Sunderland’s weaknesses at will just as long as they take this match seriously. If they don’t, they risk opening weaknesses for Sunderland to exploit, and losing to the last-place team in the EPL would be a bad way to keep chasing for the top of the table.
