Is Man City vs Sunderland on TV? Live streams, channels, preview, kick-off time

Watch Manchester City vs Sunderland in the Premier League as the two teams go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Read one as FourFourTwo provides all the broadcast information in our handy TV guide.

Manchester City just about escaped West London with all three points in midweek, beating Fulham 5-4 in a frantic contest.

Phil Foden continued his recent form with another two-goal haul, whilst the ever-consistent Erling Haaland finally netted his 100th Premier League goal.

Sunderland drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Anfield and could have won it late on, if not for a fine intervention from Federico Chiesa to deny Wilson Isidor.

The Black Cats are enjoying a return to the Premier League and, after 14 games played, have an impressive tally of 23 points.

Manchester City vs Sunderland: Preview

Manchester City are bidding to record a 10th Premier League win of the season as they host newly-promoted Sunderland.

Guardiola's men are firmly on the tails of league leaders Arsenal, with the Sky Blues looking to follow up on recent wins over Leeds and Fulham.

It's the first meeting between the two teams in eight years, with City having come out on top in all seven of their last meetings in the English top flight.

Set to be without midfield duo Rodri and Mateo Kovacic, Nico Gonzalez could once again start at the base of Guardiola's midfield, with Bernando Silva and Tijjani Reijnders partnering him for the last two games.

City may have one eye on their midweek clash with Real Madrid, however, so it remains to be seen if Guardiola rings in the changes.

Sunderland and manager Regis Le Bris will no doubt have been left feeling disappointed to have not come away from Anfield with more than a point in midweek.

Confidence is brimming at present, with the Black Cats sixth in the Premier League table and already almost at that magic 30-point mark.

A trip to Manchester is next on the cards, with most preparing for the mass exodus they will soon face, given that the impending Africa Cup of Nations starts shortly.

In terms of team news, Habib Diarra is out with a long-term groin injury, while Dennis Cirkin (wrist), Leo Hjelde (Achilles) and Aji Alese (shoulder) are all lacking match fitness, as we await updates on the trio.

Le Bris went for a five-man defence against Liverpool in midweek and intrigue remains high as to whether he does the same again on Saturday.

Manchester City vs Sunderland: Expected line-ups

FourFourTwo's prediction

Manchester City 2-1 Sunderland

We expect this to be closer than most people think, given that City are a different beast on home soil. The Black Cats have a knack for finding the net against the big six, but despite that, we are expecting a home win.
