THE PREDICTION

League One side Sunderland travel to an Arsenal team in great form from an attacking perspective, winning their last three games and scoring nine goals in the process. Key to Arsenal’s recent renaissance following a slow start to the season has been their home form and the Gunners have won their most recent six matches in all competitions at Emirates Stadium. Sunderland won’t die wondering in this quarter-final and will look to push bodies forward whenever possible, however boss Lee Johnson will know that defensive stability is key for them to come out on top here. Despite a gap of two divisions between them, a close contest is on the cards, although the quality of this Arsenal side high on confidence, combined with home advantage and the motivation to win a major trophy should see them through to a hard-fought win over the Black Cats.
