Man City vs Sunderland Preview
Man City aim to keep their 100% record in the new Premier League season intact when they play host to Sunderland at their Etihad Stadium. Enzo Maresca's men defeated Man Utd 1-0 at the weekend despite Phil Foden's first-half sending-off, underlining their impressive resilience. Summer signing Iliman Ndiaye is likely to replace Foden in the starting XI, while Jeremy Doku remains in the treatment room. City have won 60% of their last 10 matches, averaging 1.60 goals per game and registering an impressive 1.99 xG at home.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Arsenal at the weekend, but they produced a promising display, with Enzo Le Fee failing to convert a penalty. Mundle, Diarra, and Reinildo remain in the recovery room. Sunderland have won 50% of their last 10 games, scoring 1.10 goals per match, while their away fixtures have produced an average of 3.25 goals. However, they have conceded 1.75 goals per away game and face a City side that has dominated this fixture, winning 16 of the previous 24 meetings.
Man City are unbeaten in the new campaign and are leading the H2H record. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Man City Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (14 of the last 24 meetings produced at least three goals).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday, 20 September 2026 at 14:00.
