Roberto Mancini's side can ill-afford another slip up in the league

Roberto Mancini's side can ill-afford another slip up in the league

Manchester City look set to continue their extraordinary run at Eastlands, this time at the expense of Sunderland...

Sunderland have drawn 99 top-flight games in the Premier League era and lost 199. Match odds

Manchester City have won 24 of their last 25 Premier League home games including the last 20 in a row. Match odds

Roberto Mancini's side have kept six clean sheets in their last eight Premier League home games. Man City clean sheet?

Sunderland's last two wins over Man City have been by a 1-0 scoreline with the only goal being a 90th minute winner. Correct score

Carlos Tevez has scored a penalty in each of the last two meetings between these two sides at the Etihad Stadium.

82% of the goals Manchester City have conceded have come in the second half of games, the highest proportion in the top flight and they haven't conceded a first half goal since December against Chelsea. Sunderland total goals

18% of the goals Sunderland have conceded have been shipped in the opening 15 minutes of games, the joint-highest proportion in the top flight. First goals odds

Nicklas Bendtner has scored in three of his last four Premier League games and also in his last appearance at the Etihad Stadium in a 3-0 over City.

The Black Cats have won just one of their last five Premier League away games (W1 D1 L3). Match odds

Sunderland have had players sent off in three of their last five Premier League visits to the Etihad Stadium. Sending off?

Blackburn might have won at Old Trafford earlier in the campaign but they won't repeat the feat this time round......

Tottenham are in desperate need of three points if they are to hold on to fourth spot......

Liverpool head to Tyneside on the back of desperate defeats to QPR and latterly Wigan......

Time is running out for rock-bottom Wolves and a win against fellow strugglers Bolton is an absolute must......
