When the two sides met at the Emirates Stadium, Robin van Persie scored Arsenal’s fastest-ever Premier League goal (29 seconds).
Only two of the 14 goals Sunderland have scored against Arsenal in the Premier League era has been netted in the first half.
In the last 15 meetings with Arsenal, Sunderland have alternated with scoring or failing to score; having netted at the Emirates, they should fail to find the net if that run continues.
Arsenal have won none of their last three visits to the Stadium of Light, losing once and drawing twice, conceding one goal in each game.
The Gunners have won just two of their last 12 Premier League visits to play teams in the north east (W2 D8 L2).
Arsenal have won just five of their last 22 away games in domestic competitions (W5 D7 L10).
The Gunners have won one and lost three of their last five Premier League games.
Sunderland have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League home games and won four and lost none of the five since Martin O’Neill took the helm.
The Black Cats have kept three clean sheets in a row at the Stadium of Light. If they keep one in this game, it’ll equal their best run since December 2001 when they kept four in a row.
Robin van Persie has scored 40 goals in his last 41 Premier League appearances.
