This fixture brings together two of the Premier League’s remaining unbeaten teams – one expected, one not so. Despite sitting 13th Sunderland are yet to lose a league game, however, last weekend’s defeat of Wigan represented their only win to date.

The bookies are affording little respect to the Black Cat’s ‘unbeaten’ tag and are offering them at prices ranging up to 14/1 for the win.

Match Odds

Man City 2/7
Draw 9/2
Sunderland 12/1

Martin O’Neil was mocked by many when he forked out £14m for striker Steven Fletcher (pictured) but the Scotland international has gone someway to repaying the investment, notching all of Sunderland’s league goals so far.

Despite this he is still available at a startling 12/1 to score first at the Etihad and that price, which is far too high, simply can’t be overlooked.

City are already off the title pace and Roberto Mancini will be mindful of that fact so expect the Sky Blues to go all out for the win – a win they’re fancied to get.

However, there is little value in their 2/7 odds so instead go for the Citizens to win by one goal at 11/4, with two of their three league victories being achieved by this margin
