The Black Cats have often been a joy to watch and look more than good enough to remain in the division come May, barring an absolute calamitous second half of the campaign.

Manchester City have typically found their form at the right point and are hot on the heels of league leaders Arsenal.

The future around boss Pep Guardiola continues, but it does look increasingly likely that Antoine Semenyo will become a City player in the next few weeks.

A Virtual Private Network helps you get around this problem by changing your IP address, making your laptop, tablet or smartphone appear to be in a different country. That means you can watch your usual streams, even when you’re a long way from home.

Sunderland vs Man City: Premier League preview

Still undefeated at the Stadium of Light this season, Sunderland hosts Manchester City in what could be their toughest test yet.

Despite losing a whole bunch of players to the Africa Cup of Nations, Regis Le Bris' side has coped fairly well, all things considered.

Granit Xhaka's experience with the armband looks invaluable as ever, having now played every game in the Premier League this term.

Ajibola Alese (shoulder) and Daniel Ballard are sidelined and will play no part in this one, while Habib Diarra, Bertrand Traore, Chemsdine Talbi, Noah Sadiki, Arthur Masuaku and Reinildo Mandava are away at AFCON.

City left it late to beat Forest at The City Ground, with Rayan Cherki's low drive earning yet another three points for the Sky Blues.

That's now eight wins from their last 10 outings in the Premier League, as Guardiola's men begin to turn the screw around this period once again.

It would be most helpful if Arsenal and Aston Villa drew, with City then perhaps handed the chance to go top of the pile.

Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait Nouri are away at AFCON, whilst the injured quartet includes John Stones (muscle), Mateo Kovacic (ankle), Jeremy Doku (leg) and Oscar Bobb (muscle).
