Following their goalless draw against Chelsea this weekend, Sunderland will try to take advantage of their unbeaten streak against current Premier League Champions Manchester City, who managed to beat Southampton 3-0 and climb to the second place in the Premiership standings.
Sunderland enter this match with nothing to lose. Coach Gustavo Poyet knows they are deemed as the proverbial undergod for this match, and that suits them just fine. With that in mind, he has asked his players for the same determination shown on Saturday against Chelsea, where experts and fans agreed on the fact that his side deserved to win that match, given the chances they enjoyed against the Blues. Last year, the Black Cats pulled an 1-0 upset against the Citizens, a victory that boosted their hopes of keeping their top-flight status, which they eventually achieved.
For Manchester City, this will be a fine opportunity to exorcize some of their demons against the Black Cats. Coach Manuel Pellegrini has struggleed to repeat a starting XI due to a series of injuries to key players, such as David Silva or most recently, captain Vincent Kompany. If the Chilean's men want to keep their title hopes alive, they will have to win for the first time at Stadium of Light since 2008.
To accomplish this feat, the Sky Blues will rely upon Sergio Aguero's performance. El Kun has proven to be a valuable asset for Manchester City, leading all Premier League scorers with twelve goals. City's chances to earn a much needed victory will depend on Aguero's shape, and surely Pellegrini would give anything in his power to defeat Sunderland for the first time in the last seven Premier League matches.
