ARS vs SUN EFL CUP 2021-22 Preview:
Premier League giants Arsenal turn their attention to the EFL Cup campaign when they host Sunderland at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. Arsenal will be hoping to continue their newly found league form in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup against the in-form League One giants Sunderland.
Mikel Arteta has recently turned the fortune for Arsenal with three consecutive league wins. They now sit in 4th position in the league table and will be fighting for that spot for the rest of the season. Their main target for this season will be finishing in the top-four and returning to European football. Winning EFL Cup will be another realistic target for them but not the primary. They beat Leeds United by 2-0 in the Round of 16 to reach the quarter-finals. Gunners enter this fixture after beating Leeds United away by 1-4 last Saturday.
Sunderland will fancy this Emirates Stadium trip as they are in great form lately. The Balck Cats sit in the 3rd position in the League One table with 43 points in 22 fixtures, just 4 points behind leaders Rotherham United. They enter this fixture after a 1-1 away draw against Ipswich Town last Saturday. Promotion to the Championship will be a high priority for manager Lee Johnson, so he will be resting key players for this EFL Cup clash.
Arsenal are aware of fans’ thirst for the silverware at the Emirates. So winning EFL Cup will be the only option for them as they are already out of the Premier League title race mathematically and also missing out on European football this season.
