Both Arsenal and Sunderland are coming off the heel of a bad performance. If the Gunners want a farfetched chance of competing for the Premier League title, this game is an absolute must win. The North London club should be able to sweep Tyne side aside to collect all three, but the Londoners are less than reliable. Here is a list of five predictions for the game.

5. Jozy Altidore will not play

The American star striker is just garbage in the Premier League. Altidore just cannot get a break with Sunderland. Once again American fans will have to watch their star on the Sunderland bench. The game is too important to play Altidore.

4. Podolski plays

Lukas Podolski has made headlines by stating his displeasure for the lack of game time he gets. The German international has always been a quality player for his country. Arsene Wenger should give the former Koln man some playing time, which could be a good move for the struggling Arsenal.

3. Welbeck the difference

Danny Welbeck has been an absolute revelation this season. The English international will lead the Arsenal frontline and score the winning goal.

Arsenal will put on their typically frustrating performance of trying to walk the ball into the goal. The winner for the Gunners will come in the last 10 minutes of the match to save Arsene Wenger’s side from blushes.
