Arsenal vs Sunderland Head to Head: Can Mikel Arteta's Men Continue Their EPL Title Charge With A Win Over Sunderland

The red side of North London will be in full voice on Saturday when Arsenal play Sunderland in matchweek 25. An encounter featuring two clubs having exceptional seasons in their own right and sitting high in the EPL standings.

The upcoming clash in the Arsenal vs Sunderland head to head rivalry will be a must-win for both sides following the enhancement of fan expectations. Saturday's matchup features the Gunners, who have the best home record in the league this season, while Sunderland have struggled to register positive results away from home.

Arsenal, currently in 1st place, is coming fresh off a 0-4 thrashing of Leeds United at Elland Road, disposing of any fears of slipping up in the business end of the campaign. Newly promoted Sunderland, under Regis Le Bris, are coming off a 3-0 win against Burnley at the Stadium of Light, where an early own goal from Axel Tuanzebe, followed by on-target strikes from Chemsedine Talbi and Habib Diarra, secured three important points.

Mikel Arteta's men will be aware that anything less than three points will incur the wrath of the Arsenal faithful, who will be desperate to end their almost quarter-century wait to be called Premier League champions once again.
