    The model's likeliest scoreline. Exact-score markets pay well and land rarely, so stake lightly.

How do the two teams set up?

Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Arsenal

Arsenal are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball at Emirates Stadium and pin Sunderland back for long periods.

Away

Sunderland

Sunderland are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball on their trip to Emirates Stadium, but short of the creativity to dominate.

What would change our mind?

The developments we would react to before kick-off.

  • If Arsenal name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.

  • If Sunderland score first

    The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.

The story of Arsenal vs Sunderland

We project 2.86 expected goals for Arsenal and 0.54 for Sunderland; run that through thousands of simulated matches and Arsenal win 84% of them. For Sunderland, an early goal changes everything: chasing teams leave space, and that is where upsets come from.
