Sunderland
Man City
- Sunderland will be without Lee Cattermole and Andrea Dossena after both were sent off last weekend.
- Goalkeeper Kieren Westwood picked up a neck injury at Hull and is a doubt, so Vito Mannone could keep his place in goal.
- Wes Brown returned to action from the bench last time out and could make his first league start since January 2012.
- The likes of Fernandinho and David Silva both picked up knocks in midweek and the latter looks set to be out for around a month with a calf injury.
- With Javi Garcia also a doubt Pellegrini will hope that the Brazilian, in particular, is able to recover to partner Yaya Toure once again.
- The strike partnership of Aguero and Negredo continued to impress in the Champions League, with the pairing now having netted 15 times in the 6 games they have started alongside one another.
nice try samy888
Sunderland 0 - 3 Man City - 2 Aguero, 1 Negredo :)
On paper looks like an easy game for City, but anybody can beat City at home so it's difficult to call. I still think they will run riot and win 4-0, but it's the kind of game that could be 4-0 to City, or 1-0 to Sunderland it's quite unpredictable
Manchester City has been playing awful football away from home. Out of five away matches, they have won one game and conceded nine goals. Complete opposite when they play at home. In my opinion, they are the best/most dangerous home side in the EPL. Luckily for Manchester City, they are playing against Sunderland. Sunderland is awful no matter where they play. They have only won a single EPL match all year and have the worst defense in the EPL. I believe that Manchester City wins this game though. I am sure Sunderland will not win and a draw here is a stretch (although it could happen.) I am on the over in this match. I feel that Sunderland can score a goal, so it is up to Manchester City to score two-three goals. I think they can do it. Manchester City 3 Sunderland 1
COMON CITYYYY
