The reigning Premier League champions have picked up from where they left off last term, winning their opening three league fixtures and conceding just once in the process.

Sunderland will provide a stern test, particularly on home soil, and Arsenal will be wary after being held to a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Stadium of Light last season. However, the Gunners have started the campaign in impressive defensive form and look well equipped to control this contest.

With Arsenal having conceded just once in their opening three Premier League games, Arsenal to win to nil looks an attractive angle.
