Manchester City - Sunderland

TEAM NEWS

City

Micah Richards is out of the team with a slight injury but will return in time for next week's game against Portsmouth. Martin Petrov has shrugged off a toe injury and should feature in the starting XI.

Sunderland

Defenders Paul McShane and Greg Halford are both out through suspension. They could be joined in the dugout by Dwight Yorke and Roy O'Donovan who both face late fitness tests. Graham Kavanagh could feature after being recalled from a loan spell with Sheffield Wednesday.

The match:

After the humiliating loss from Chelsea last weekend and the lucky win over Bolton, City will look to get back on track with win number 7 at home. Petrov is back and will give speed in the attack. Roy Keane's side got only 2 points from 7 away matches, but i will mark despite their place they are capable of scoring goals. It will be interesting match, every match in England is. It will not be so easy for City and they should be 4 eyes open, but in my opinion they will do it. I expect home win here, and also both teams to score and over 2.5 goals here.
