The previous clash between these clubs, Manchester City and Sunderland, ended in a goalless draw!
Manchester City are now gearing up to take on Sunderland AFC for their fifth matchweek contest of the Premier League 2026-27 edition. The Etihad Stadium is going to witness this interesting outing.
The Enzo Maresca-led side are coming after dominating proceedings against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup. It was an easy 5-0 victory for them. Their performances in the English top division have also been top-notch. The Cityzens have won all of their first four games and will now be looking to make it five in a row.
Manchester City took down Manchester United in their last league game. Despite being reduced to 10 men early on in the match, they still managed to secure a win. Their performance in the final third was not the best, but they will be looking to make some improvements this time around. Man City at home are going to have a slight advantage.
Sunderland are coming in after their 1-0 win against AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League. They lacked a finishing touch in the final third and were only able to score one goal, that too via a spot kick. The Black Cats cannot make similar mistakes against the hosts.
Régis Le Bris’ men faced a 0-2 defeat in their last Premier League outing against the defending champions Arsenal. Their upcoming contest is going to be a tough one against Man City.
