Sunderland vs Manchester City Premier League Match Preview
The Premier League fixture between Sunderland and Manchester City is set to kick off at 8pm GMT at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland, currently 7th in the table with 28 points from 18 games, will be without several players due to the Africa Cup of Nations and other injuries. The team is managed by Regis Le Bris. Despite these challenges, Sunderland have had a good season overall.
Manchester City, second in the league with 40 points from 18 matches, have won every game since 29 November 2025, though their points total is notably lower than their peak in recent seasons. The last match between these sides included a notably eye-catching rabona.
At the top of the table, Arsenal lead with 45 points from 19 games and may be hoping Manchester City slip up against Sunderland in January. This match presents a significant test for Pep Guardiola’s side as they seek to maintain their winning momentum.
