EPL: Gary Neville, Ian Wright predict Sunderland vs Arsenal clash

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has predicted Arsenal will drop points at Sunderland.

The Gunners travel to the Stadium of Light looking to set a new club record.

Mikel Arteta’s side will also look to extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points on Saturday evening.

Arsenal have won 10 consecutive games in all competitions and have conceded just three times all season.

But Neville expects the league leaders to be frustrated with Sunderland.

“They’re clumsy at Sunderland, aren’t they? I’ll go with 1-1,” Neville said on The Overlap.

“I don’t really know why I did it – I like Arsenal but Sunderland are tough there.”

His co-host Ian Wright added: “We’re playing well. I’m going 2-0 to Arsenal.”
