English pundit and former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp, has said high-flying promoted side Sunderland will take points off English Premier League (EPL) leaders, Arsenal, when they clash this Saturday at the Stadium of Light.

​He made the bold prediction recently while suggesting the outcome of the game on BetVictor.

​According to Redknapp, the North London outfit, Arsenal, can’t win every game in the Premier League this season.

​He added that he has a “sneaky suspicion” that Sunderland, who have been so impressive so far, will secure a result against the Gunners.

​While making the prediction, he said:
​“Sunderland have been so impressive and seem to have so much belief and confidence right now.

​“Arsenal are cruising right now, and they just don’t look like conceding.

​“Despite all that, I just have a sneaky suspicion that Sunderland will get something from this game.

​“Arsenal cannot win every game this season, and it would be typical of the Premier League if Sunderland caused a bit of an upset.”

​Arsenal currently have 25 points from 10 league matches and are 6 points ahead of their nearest rivals, Manchester City.

​Sunderland, on the other hand, have shocked all pundits by sitting in 4th position on the log table with 18 points.

​The kick-off time for the highly anticipated encounter is 6:30 PM Nigerian time.
