Manchester City- Phil Foden
Sunderland- Reinildo Mandava
Manchester City have made a ruthless start to the Premier League season, winning all four and conceding just twice, and they welcome a Sunderland side down in mid-table to the Etihad on Sunday, kicking off at 2pm. Fresh from a derby win at Old Trafford, City will expect to brush aside opponents who have managed only three goals all season.
Anthony Eadson’s Man City vs Sunderland predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects another City shutout, with Haaland to head home.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester City to win to nil | 6/5 (SpreadEx) | Manchester City have conceded just two goals across their last six matches in all competitions, keeping three clean sheets during that run. Their defensive numbers make a strong case for another shutout, with City allowing just 0.68 Expected Goals against per game. At 6/5, backing the champions-elect to win to nil again is the play against a Sunderland side with next to nothing going forward. |
| Erling Haaland to score a header | 13/2 (William Hill) | Haaland has scored a header against Crystal Palace and Coventry in the Premier League since the start of the campaign. He also bagged with his head against Porto in the Champions League 10 days ago, and looks overpriced at 13/2 for another on Sunday. |
