Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.
Their guest for Week 25 is Gladiators star Apollo, real name Alex Gray, who supports Newcastle.
Suton says: I’m not going to say 2-1 for this one. Instead, it will be another clean sheet for Arsenal: they have already kept 12 in their first 24 league games, two more than any other team.
It is a shame that Sunderland midfielder Granit Xhaka is not fit to face his former club at the Emirates. When he played for the Black Cats against Arsenal in the draw at the Stadium of Light, it was the first team I saw that really rocked the Gunners.
Xhaka’s experience has helped unite a Sunderland team with plenty of young players this season, but they coped well without him against Burnley on Monday.
This is a much more difficult game for them, obviously, and Sunderland’s away form is not as strong as at home.
Arsenal beat Leeds 4-0 last weekend, when everyone thought they were having a bit of a problem.
They showed their strength in depth at Elland Road, when they lost Bukayo Saka in the warm-up, and I can see them winning comfortably this time too.
Sutton Prediction: 2-0
Apollo Prediction: 0-2
AI Prediction: 4-0
