Arsenal continue their march towards the Premier League title with a surprisingly challenging test on Saturday afternoon.
Before a ball was kicked this season, a home tie with Sunderland appeared one of the most favourable of the campaign, but the ascent of the Black Cats has been truly brilliant. The 2–2 draw at the Stadium of Light in the reverse fixture is just one example of how the Wearsiders have exceeded expectations this season, currently perched in eighth place and closer to Arsenal in first than Wolverhampton Wanderers in last.
