Η Arsenal welcomes her Sunderland in its quarterfinals EFL Cup. The match will take place today at 21:45 in London at the Emirates Stadium. In recent years, Arsenal has not had the desired results in all the competitions it has played, with the result that the club's fans have already forgotten what the Champions League is and what it is like to be a champion in the Priemer league, since the last league comes from distant 2004, however there is an English Cup in 2020, and this year there is a chance they will return to the big leagues of European football because the Gunners are in fourth place in the Premier League standings. However, the competition will be fierce and requires a lot of hard work. In their last game, the Gunners beat Leeds 1-4 away from home. As for the League Cup, I do not think it is a goal to win a trophy for Arsenal. However, the Gunners do not ignore it.
Sunderland, on the other hand, are a team with a long history on English courts. The club left the "elite" of English football just five years ago. During this time, the Black Cats did not do very well so they were relegated from the Championship to the third English division. At the end of this season, however, the team has a chance to win promotion, as it is in third place in the A 'category. Sunderland are the only team not in the Premier League to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup. In their league, the Black Cats have not lost seven games in a row.
Arsenal is a clear favorite in this match. But the main question is ... how much does Arteta's Arsenal want to go to the League Cup? when he is also in the top four of the league ... the answer will be given in the next games. On the other hand I believe that Sunderland can give their own answer and score in this game, so I will bet on Over 2,5 goals at odds of 1.55 by Stoiximan.
