When the fixtures were announced, many Manchester City fans probably thought this would be one of their easiest matches in the Premier League this season. In contrast, Sunderland fans were almost mentally prepared for a heavy defeat.
After all, Man City has dominated English football for nearly a decade, while Sunderland were the only team to be promoted last season, finishing fourth in the Championship.
However, after 14 rounds, the situation has completely changed. City are second and have won their last two games, but their defence has revealed many worrying problems.
Meanwhile, Sunderland are emerging as one of the most impressive newly promoted teams in Premier League history. They have won 23 points from 14 games - just five points behind City - and are close to the total points of the other two newly promoted sides: Leeds United (14) and Burnley (10).
Regis Le Bris's team continuously created surprises when defeating Chelsea right at Stamford Bridge, while also holding Arsenal and Liverpool to a draw. Those results show that they are fully capable of creating a shock against Man City.
Man City have won their last 6 Premier League games against Sunderland, with their most recent meeting being a 2-0 away win in March 2017.
Sunderland have never won away from home against Man City in 13 Premier League meetings. The last time they won at Man City's top flight was in December 2021 at Maine Road.
