The North London heavyweights won their 500th Premier league match on Thursday evening as a brace from Alexis Sanchez was enough to see off West Bromwich Albion, But despite the midweek victory, only the most optimistic of Arsenal fans would give them a chance of emerging victors in this tie.
Arsenal sit on 63 points after 34 matches, two points ahead of fourth placed Manchester city, who could only settle for a draw during the week against Newcastle.
Arsenal certainly have a fight on their hands to keep hold of one of the champions league spots, considering they still have a match against city at the end of the season, but before that they have to battle a sunderland side who sit on 18th place, with 30 points after 33 games.
Sam Allardyce hasn't been successful in bringing the black cats out of relegation zone as some expected he might have done, he has only helped remain in the hunt for safety. with recent positive performances against swansea and Manchester city he'll really be hoping his boys gives Arsenal a shocker, by coming out victorious.
good luck to the gunners
