Can Sunderland get an upset at Arsenal this weekend?

Question

The Black Cats have been on a downward spiral of late. Is there anything to suggest they can reverse their recent run with a commanding performance against the Gunners?

Answer 1

As an Arsenal fan I'm inclined to say no chance, but while Sunderland have been pretty ropey lately, star striker Darren Bent believes the team can turn things around, starting with the trip to the Emirates. "It's a massive game for us and probably a lot of people won't give us much of a chance going to play Arsenal at home," he said in the Sunderland Echo. "But if we go and set our stall out like we did at Manchester United earlier in the season (in a 2-2 draw) there's no reason why we can't go there and get something.
I can only pray that he's wrong.
