The Black Cats travel to the Etihad to take on Manchester City, as they look to put in a similar performance to what they did against Liverpool last time out.
Sunderland we’re unlucky to come away with just a point against the Premier League champions on Wednesday, as a late Mukiele own goal cancelled out Talbi’s second half strike.
Man City striker, Erling Haaland broke a Premier League record as they beat Fulham 5-4 on Tuesday, getting to 100 Premier League goals quicker than any other player.
The big Norwegian striker has scored 15 goals and got 3 assists in 14 matches so far this season, but with City currently sat in 2nd, 5 points behind leaders Arsenal, it just shows how important he is to them.
The Sky Blues can move to within 2 points off the leaders, but if they suffer defeat, they could drop down to 3rd and go 8 points from the top.
Sunderland will be desperate to keep him quiet, as quite often this season, if he can’t get involved, Man City struggle.
The Black Cats have the chance to move up to 4th in the table, depending on other results, an unbelievable achievement for a newly promoted side.
Sunderland will be fancying their chances of getting some goals as Pep Guardiola’s side have been extremely leaky at the back lately, conceding 11 goals in their last 4 matches in all competitions.
The Black Cats have lost their last 7 encounters with City, and they have failed to win in their last 10 meetings.
Their last victory over the Sky Blues came in 2013, in a 1-0 victory at The Stadium of Light thanks to a beautiful goal by Phil Bardsley.
Prediction
Manchester City 2-2 Sunderland
Scorers – Brian Brobbey and Enzo Le Fee
