Man City aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate following a thrilling 5-4 win at Fulham. Given their positive record against Sunderland at Etihad Stadium, we predict that the Citizens will do so with a 2-1 win over the Black Cats. Pep Guardiola’s men are eager to extend their winning run to three games. With the team averaging 2.60 goals per game at home ground, Man City Over 1.5 goals seems like a sure bet. Guardiola has a full squad to choose from except for midfield duo Mateo Kovacic – Rodri.
The newcomers, on the other hand, are enjoying a season to remember, with the team climbing to 6th place in the standings thanks to a 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Sunderland, though, have failed to score in 40% of their away games, which is not giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to Manchester. Their expected goals against on the road of 2.20 is yet another red flag. Habib Diarra and Ajibola Alese should be the only absentees in the visiting team.
Man City have been showing signs of improvement of late and with the team winning 84% of their last 13 meetings with Sunderland at Etihad Stadium, Home Win should be considered. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals (59%) and Erling Haaland to Score bets seem appealing.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 6 December 2025 at 15:00.
