Arsenal vs. Sunderland Picks
Sunderland have been the surprise team in the Premier League this season, but even they will struggle at the Emirates. Arsenal continues to get better, despite a midseason wobble. They will be seeking revenge for the last gasp draw at the Stadium of Light.
I have Arsenal winning this in another statement win.
Other markets include Kai Havertz to score an assist, Brian Brobbey to have two or more shots on target and Noni Madueke to make two or more successful dribbles.
