The mission: To surprise

For their part, the old acquaintance Sunderland will be looking to give something to talk about when they face Arsenal as in the days of yesteryear when they were still part of the Premier League, currently with the third best team in the bronze division and have one of the most powerful offenses in the league and the tournament as currently the second best scorer of the Carabao Cup belongs to Sunderland. The Black Cats team wants to continue to transcend and what better way to do so than by beating one of the members of the mighty Big 6.

December 21, 2021 1:12 PM ET

Making home advantage count

The Gunners will be looking to make their home advantage count when they host Sunderland in the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup, the London team will face one of the best teams so far this season in the bronze division, however, they will have to be careful because the fact of being in the top flight of English football does not assure them that Sunderland will be a surprise. Also, at the moment they have a great streak since after the terrible start of the season, they have been climbing places to the point of entering the famous big six and counting on their killer Smith Rowe who has been fundamental to define the matches. 

December 21, 2021 1:07 PM ET

Kill or be killed

The road to the grand final of the Carabao Cup in England continues, after having completed the round of 16 to obtain the next 8 clubs to advance to the playoffs, now only 4 will be the ones who remain aon this road with the hope of continuing to transcend in the competition. This time it will be the turn for Arsenal and Sunderland to face each other, both teams managed to survive the previous round and will seek to continue with the good pace for this elimination round, on the one hand, the Gunners are in 4th place in the general table, getting into and keeping themselves in UEFA Champions League places after the bad start of the season they had had, on the other hand, Sunderland is in 3rd place in the general table in Football League One and aspire to be promoted to return the club to the maximum circuit of England. For this match it would seem that the home side are the favorites, however, history dictates that in the Carabao Cup anything can happen.
