Sunderland A.F.C VS Arsenal

Sunderland's recent form has been quite stable. They drew 1-1 away against Brentford, with Enzo Lefè scoring from a penalty, and have now gone two consecutive league games without a loss. Before that, they won 1-0 at home against Fulham, with Wilson Isidore scoring the only goal. The Sunderland manager, Le Bris, has described Arsenal as a top - tier European team before the game. He also revealed that the team will make significant rotations, having used 24 players in the past two games. On the other hand, Arsenal has been in excellent form. In their last Premier League game at home, they came from behind to beat Chelsea 2 - 1. Morgan Rogers gave Chelsea the lead, but Arsenal scored two goals to turn the game around. In the mid - week Champions League, they won 1 - 0 away at Napoli, with Martin Ødegaard scoring the winning goal in the 75th minute with a powerful shot. Ødegaard has been in outstanding scoring form this season. He has scored 4 goals in the first 4 games, far exceeding his 1 goal in 36 games last season, and currently leads the team's goal - scoring chart. Kai Havertz has 3 goals, and Bukayo Saka has 2. With such a goal - scoring threat, Arsenal will be a tough opponent for Sunderland.
