Result

Arsenal to win — three from three, best defensive record in the division, dominant in every metric

Corners

Arsenal most corners — 5.67 per game, Saka and Calafiori width forces consistent volume

Cards

Tzolis most bookable for Arsenal — 2 YC in 3 games, direct wide play brings foul risk

Arsenal travel to the Stadium of Light as the division's form team — three wins from three, six goals scored, one conceded. Saka (5 SoT, 2 goals) and Havertz (4 SoT, 2 goals) lead an attack that produced 9 SoT vs Chelsea in GW3. Sunderland have shown resilience — their 1-0 win over Fulham and draw at Brentford demonstrate defensive organisation — but their 1-2 opening-day defeat at Ipswich revealed vulnerability. Arsenal's corner dominance (17 in 3 games, 5.67 avg) and set-piece threat via Calafiori (2 assists) are additional angles. Le Fée (1 goal, 7 shots) is Sunderland's best creative outlet but faces a formidable midfield test against Rice.
