Scoring goals, winning, and keeping clean sheets in a row, Arsenal finally found themselves facing a difficult opponent just before the international break.
Despite being newly promoted, Sunderland played energetic football. Goals from Ballard and Brobbey ended Arsenal's 812-minute clean sheet.
With their winning streak broken at the Stadium of Light, Arsenal are now only 4 points ahead of Man City ahead of matchday 12. The international break is seen as a good time for a team that has just suffered disappointing results.
But for Arsenal, who will face Bayern Munich and Chelsea in November, any loss of momentum could have major consequences.
Arsenal are preparing to welcome their arch-rivals to the Emirates – a stadium where they have conceded only one goal since the start of the season.
Despite the absence of several key players due to injury, most recently center-back Gabriel, Arsenal are still highly rated thanks to their strong squad.
In terms of head-to-head encounters, Arsenal have also won 5 out of their last 6 Premier League matches against Tottenham, including the last three consecutive games.
Tottenham just squandered a victory at home after leading Manchester United until injury time. It's rather strange that Tottenham under Thomas Frank often perform well away from home but poorly at home.
Spurs haven't won in their last five home games. However, when considering only away matches, Tottenham have achieved an extremely impressive points total, winning 13 out of a possible 15 points, with four victories against Manchester City, West Ham, Leeds, and Everton.
However, the match against Arsenal is Tottenham's most important away game, a London derby they haven't won since 2010. Can Spurs turn things around today and shatter the Gunners' title hopes?
