Sunderland have been one of the surprise packages of the 2025–26 Premier League season. Sitting in fourth place with 18 points (W5, D3, L2), the Black Cats are proving to be no pushovers, especially at home.
Under Tony Mowbray, Sunderland have combined discipline with organization, allowing just eight goals across ten league fixtures.
Their home form has been impressive, as they continue to frustrate attacking sides with a compact setup and efficient pressing. While goals have been hard to come by, their defensive solidity gives them a genuine chance to compete with top-tier sides like Arsenal.

League leaders Arsenal enter this matchup in commanding form, sitting on 25 points (W8, D1, L1), six points clear of Manchester City. What truly sets the Gunners apart this season is their elite defensive record, having conceded just three goals in ten league games.
Mikel Arteta’s side are also chasing a ninth consecutive clean sheet across all competitions, emphasizing their defensive dominance. With William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães forming a rock-solid center-back partnership and goalkeeper David Raya in inspired form, Arsenal have become extremely hard to break down.
Offensively, they’ve been efficient rather than explosive, often relying on tight margins and structured buildup play to secure results. This measured approach, paired with their defensive excellence, makes the Under 2.5 goals market especially appealing.
MatchPlug Prediction for Sunderland vs Arsenal
Sunderland have been gritty and disciplined at home, while Arsenal’s defense continues to set new standards for consistency and control. Both teams thrive on structure rather than chaos, which points to a cautious, tactical affair with few scoring chances.
Expect a physical, low-scoring battle, with Arsenal’s quality likely to edge it — but without fireworks in front of goal.
Final Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
