MANCITYVSUNDERLAND

Match insight

Man City and Sunderland aren't close on the table right now, and that gap shows up everywhere from points to form. Man City currently sit 16 places and 14 points above Sunderland in the table — 1st against 17th and inside the Champions League places. Man City have taken 15 points from their last 5, against 4 for Sunderland over the same stretch. Form and table position both point the same way here, but a class gap on paper is still no guarantee on the day for Man City against a motivated Sunderland.
