Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal continue to set the pace in English football, showing no signs of slowing down despite a growing list of injuries. The Gunners made history in midweek with a club-record eighth consecutive clean sheet, sealing their tenth straight victory across all competitions. A commanding 3–0 triumph over Slavia Prague preserved their flawless Champions League campaign and reinforced their reputation as one of Europe’s most disciplined and efficient sides.

Arsenal’s defensive excellence has been matched by their tactical adaptability under Arteta, whose side continues to evolve regardless of personnel changes. Slavia Prague’s rigid man-oriented press posed challenges, but the Gunners’ composure and technical precision proved decisive. This weekend, the focus shifts to the Premier League, where Sunderland await — a side known for their more flexible defensive structure and willingness to counter quickly. The hosts will look to frustrate the league leaders and disrupt their rhythm in front of a passionate home crowd.

Despite being without several key attackers, Arsenal travel to the Stadium of Light brimming with belief and momentum. With a six-point lead at the summit, Arteta’s men know another win could further tighten their grip on the title race. Can the Gunners’ relentless run continue, or will Sunderland find a way to derail the North London express? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
