Manchester City have had an up and down year but now look to be finding a rhythm in the Premier League.
Sunderland looks an incredibly hard team to beat and even stopped Arsenal from winning at the Stadium of Light.
I’d back the draw in this one, with both sides likely to get a goal.
Other markets include Erling Haaland to score, Phil Foden to score or assist and Enzo Le Fee to make two or mor accurate crosses.
