Live in-play betting – 

Arsenal continue their chase for a top four place in this game while already relegated Sunderland will be looking to stop them with nothing to play for.

The Gunners have emphatically gotten back to reckoning for a place inside the English top four with 3 wins from their last 3 leagues which includes 2 consecutive away wins from their last 2 matches.

The Gunners are currently 5th, 4 points behind Liverpool who are 3rd in the league table but Liverpool have played a game more than them.

If Arsenal win this match, they will move to within 1 point off Liverpool going into the final match of the season.

They have won 5 of their last 6 games.

Sunderland have had a terrible season that led to their relegation from the top flight.

The Black Cats helped relegate Hull City 2 weeks ago after beating the Tigers on their own home turf, before losing to relegation threatened Swansea in their last match.

They currently have 24 points from 36 league games after winning just 6 games all through the season.
