Arsenal are looking to take another commanding step towards the Premier League title when they take on Sunderland this afternoon.
After their very impressive win away to Leeds United last time out, the Gunners are once again six points clear at the summit with 14 games left to go.
That big win at Elland Road followed by the victory over Chelsea that booked their place in the Carabao Cup final will have helped considerably ease the nerves around the Emirates.
Sunderland have already left their mark on Arsenal this season, however, holding them to a 2-2 draw back in November. The Black Cats have taken points off Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham this season and have demonstrated they are perfectly capable of causing problems for the big boys.
