Still undefeated at the Stadium of Light this season, Sunderland host Manchester City in a Premier League match for the first time in eight years, aiming to halt the Cityzens’ six-match league winning streak.
Arsenal’s statement victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday has widened the gap between Pep Guardiola’s side and first place, but there will be no panic in the City ranks as they seek to extend their winning streak to nine matches across all competitions.
The eight-time Premier League champions are in terrific form and will be favourites to kick off 2026 with victory when locking horns with Sunderland. They have tightened up their defence in recent weeks and boast a frightening band of attacking stars.
City’s creativity was on show during the 3–0 win over the Black Cats in early December as Rayan Cherki began his remarkable purple patch of form, but it’s Erling Haaland who will most concern Régis Le Bris on Thursday night.
Sunderland’s momentum has slowed down in recent weeks but they are still seventh in the table and can rise above Chelsea and Manchester United with a surprise win over City. Unbeaten on home soil in the league, they will be certain to make life difficult for Guardiola’s men.
