After booking our spot in the Carabao Cup final already this week, we'll look to finish it with an increased lead at the top of the table on Saturday when we host Sunderland at Emirates Stadium (3pm UK),
The Black Cats have been the Premier League's surprise package this term and head into this game in eighth spot. However, just 10 of their 36 points have been picked up away from the Stadium of Light, and you have to go back to October for their last win.
It is much further back in time for their last league success on our turf, which came in November 1983 - 18 meetings ago - and despite fighting valliantly for a late draw when we last met in November, three points will be the only thing on Mikel Arteta's mind as he hopes to steal a march on Manchester City, with our League Cup final opponents heading to Liverpool on Sunday.
