Bent: Black Cats can beat Gunners
Arsene Wenger's men are in fine form and come into the Premier League clash having scored 11 times in their last three outings, outclassing their opponents on a number of occasions so far this season.[LNB]Sunderland have also been a potent attacking force this term, especially at home where they have netted 15 times in six games, and Bent believes the Black Cats can pick up a result at the weekend.[LNB]"We have done well at home," he said in the Daily Mirror. "We have only lost at home to Chelsea and if we play like we can do, not too many teams can live with us.[LNB]"Liverpool found out a few weeks ago, and West Ham found out what we are all about when we were down to ten men and came back."[LNB]Bent did concede, however, that the Blacks Cats will have to be in top form if they are going to get a positive result against Arsene Wenger's side.[LNB]The 25-year-old compared the current Gunners crop to the Arsenal side that went unbeaten during the entire 2003/04 league season, and is expecting Saturday's clash to be a tough game.[LNB]He added: "They are on top, top form. They keep scoring four a game, which is unheard of.[LNB]"That is like the Arsenal of a few years back and the likes of Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Freddy Ljungberg and Dennis Bergkamp. They were giving people beatings of four and five regularly.[LNB]"It is going to be a tough game against Arsenal. They were written off for the title at the start of the season but they have shown they mean business."[LNB]Bent has been impressive so far this campaign for Sunderland and his goals tally of eight leaves him third in the scoring charts behind Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres.[LNB]England manager Fabio Capello rewarded him for his fine domestic form with an international call up against Brazil last weekend, and Bent said he enjoyed his time with the Three Lions.[LNB]"It was nice to get back in the squad and play against Brazil," he said. "It is every player's dream to play for their country, but to play against a team of the calibre of Brazil was special.[LNB]"Playing against Brazil was a spectacle. You don't realize how good they are until you play against them. [LNB]"For me Kaka was fantastic, Luis Fabiano was brilliant. They are top players and you see why they play for the likes Real Madrid."[LNB][LNB] Sunderland v Arsenal. Click here to bet.
