Team News
Sunderland
Man City
- Adam Johnson limped off in the second half at Southampton and is a doubt, while both Cattermole and Brown remain sidelined.
- If the winger isn't fit enough Seb Larsson may move back out wide with Craig Gardner moving into the midfield.
- Phil Bardsley will hope for a chance at right-back but elsewhere the team should remain unchanged.
- Karim Rekik made his league debut for City at left-back in the absence of Clichy and Kolarov, though the former could be back in contention on Wednesday.
- Vincent Kompany was rested against Reading but should return to the side in place of Kolo Toure.
- Elsewhere James Milner will hope for a start after making his comeback from injury and he may replace Javi Garcia or Carlos Tevez.
