What channel is Arsenal v Sunderland Carabao Cup match on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Check out how to watch Arsenal v Sunderland in the Carabao Cup this week, including TV and live stream details, team news, predictions and odds.
Arsenal will hope for a no-drama victory when they face Sunderland in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals at the Emirates this week.
The Gunners haven't won the League Cup since 1993 having lost three finals since then, the last of which came in 2018.
They have been knocked out of the competition at the quarter-finals stage three times in the last five editions but Mikel Arteta knows he can't afford to go out to opponents two levels below in the football pyramid.
League One Sunderland have enjoyed a strong campaign so far under new ownership with boss Lee Johnson at the helm. They sit third in the table within touching distance of the automatic promotion places in their fourth third-tier campaign.
The Black Cats are led by tall target man Ross Stewart, Everton loanee forward Nathan Broadhead and academy revelation Dan Neil, each of whom will be desperate to put on a show and upset the odds at the Emirates.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Sunderland
On paper, this is only going one way. Arsenal boast a deep pool of talent to dip into and though they will field a weakened XI, the team that starts will still boast enough quality to get the job done.
A mass reshuffle would marginally open the door for Sunderland, but the players likely to be drafted in are veterans on the fringes of the squad rather than raw prospects. Sunderland boast a youthful squad who will approach the game without fear.
Expect a tight first half. Sunderland will hope to dig deep and weather any initial storms before Stewart and Broadhead begin to see more of the ball. At that point, Arsenal are likely to turn up the heat and should find a way through the spirited League One unit.
Our prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Sunderland (5/1 at bet365).
