Man City vs Sunderland: Premier League Kick-off, Form and Streaming Details
Man City host Sunderland on Sept. 20, seeking a fifth straight win. Sky Sports and Peacock have coverage.
City have made a smooth start under Maresca and carry a 100 percent record in competitive fixtures into the weekend. They beat Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday through Erling Haaland's controversial winner, despite playing more than half the match with 10 men after Phil Foden was sent off. Maresca rotated his team for the midweek Carabao Cup victory against Norwich, but the control and confidence remained, with first club goals for youngster Floyd Samba and summer signing Allan.
Sunderland pushed Arsenal hard last weekend before losing 2-0 to the reigning champions. Regis Le Bris's side are capable of making life difficult for City with a muscular, counter-attacking approach, though Sunderland have not kept an away clean sheet in any of their last six Premier League assignments. They were boosted in midweek by a Europa League victory over AZ, with Enzo Le Fée starring, on their return to continental competition after a 53-year wait.
