Gary Neville predicts Sunderland will shock Arsenal as Premier League title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool take on each other at the weekend.
After a 3-0 win over Slavia Prague in midweek, the Gunners have now won 10 games in a row in all competitions and look set to have a very good season.
Five consecutive wins in the Premier League have put leaders Arsenal six points behind second-placed Man City and one more point behind defending champions Liverpool.
Sunday’s match at Man City at home to Liverpool could end with Arsenal extending their lead over both teams, but the Gunners face a difficult trip to Sunderland to take on Regis Le Bris’ side.
The Black Cats currently sit fourth in the Premier League and are yet to lose at home since gaining promotion from the Championship last season.
On Arsenal heading to the Stadium of Light at the weekend, former Lionesses star Jill Scott said: “You know how I feel about Sunderland…The Stadium of Light is buzzing. Do you think we can get something?”

Neville replied: “They’re awkward Sunderland, aren’t they? I’ll go with 1-1. I don’t really know why they did that. I like Arsenal but Sunderland are tough.”
Neville added of Arsenal legend Ian Wright: “Righty, what are you thinking about for the weekend? Your team is doing well…”
Wright said: “We are. We’re playing well. We’re going to beat Arsenal 2-0.”
The former Arsenal striker is as interested in what happens at the Etihad Stadium as Liverpool’s trip to Man City, adding: “A draw would be a good result for Arsenal, but I think Man City will beat Liverpool.”
“Just looking at Liverpool’s defense this season and how Erling Haaland has destroyed teams.”

Arsenal are second in the Champions League with four wins from four games, and manager Arsene Wenger believes their biggest threats outside England are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
Manager Wenger told beIN Sports: “I think there are only two teams other than England that can win this season’s Champions League.”
“One of the other teams could of course be Real Madrid, but also Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain, in their league no one wonders if they can win the championship.
“Paris Saint-Germain will win in France and Bayern have almost already won in Germany, so of course their season will take place in Europe.
“They have to play against five teams in the Premier League, which will be very interesting.
“Paris Saint-Germain are not at their best at the moment, but Liverpool and Real Madrid are fighting for their best. At the same time, Bayern are giving their all.”
