The game is to be played at Cardiff’s intimidating Cardiff City Stadium but a solid if uneventful 2-0 win for Arsenal is set to ensue on Sunday.

I would be amazed, and somewhat disappointed, if Sunday was uneventful in any way![]()
As has been said, the arrogance and lack of respect some of the "top" teams seems a whole lot worse than the last time we were in the Prem.
Should just make us even more motivated to put one over on them

They say there are no easy games in the Premier League, that may be so, but there are easier ones than others.
Undoubtedly Arsenal head to the Cardiff City Stadium as overwhelming favourites which means putting the Gunners in an accumulator at sites such as SBK Sports Betting is one of the smarter moves to make in this weekend’s round of Premier League fixtures.
Form
Three games into the new season and after back to back losses over City and Chelsea, Arsenal showed some credentials by coming away with a 3-1 home win over city rivals West Ham to register their first points of the season.
The same cannot be said for the so far hapless Bluebirds.
Manager Neil Warnock is finding life tough back in England’s top flight and Arsene Wenger’s old nemesis has lost three and failed to see his side register a single goal.
Head to Head
Look away now Cardiff fans as your head to head with the Gunners is dismal.
Not since 1961 have the Bluebirds registered a win over Arsenal in all competitions even if that fifty-year stretch does only encompass 13 games.
The sides only two previous Premier League encounters saw the Bluebirds fail to score but ship five goals over the two matches during the 2013/14 season.
A 3-0 away win was recorded by Arsenal with Aaron Ramsey the standout performer with a brace that day and a comfortable 2-0 win at the Emirates was the result in the reverse fixture thanks to late strikes by Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott.
Prediction
Anything other than a comprehensive win for Emery’s men would be a huge shock.
Warnock’s Cardiff have looked exactly what they are, a championship outfit.
There have been no signature signings over the summer for the Bluebirds with Harry Artur the standout acquisition.
Arsenal coach Unai Emery will have this game earmarked for a comfortable three-points to get his first back to back Premier League wins under his belt and really kick start the Gunners season.
With no goals, no points and seemingly no clue, Cardiff are a side destined for the drop and the expectation is they will make it four league games in a row without scoring and five games this season without a win after losing to Norwich in the Carabao Cup second round.
The game is to be played at Cardiff’s intimidating Cardiff City Stadium but a solid if uneventful 2-0 win for Arsenal is set to ensue on Sunday.
