Manchester City have received a golden opportunity to take sole possession of the English Premier League summit before the international break following Arsenal's surprising 0-3 defeat to Brighton.
Now, under the guidance of Enzo Mareska, the team simply needs to beat Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium to head into the break in high spirits.
Experts are making bold predictions for the upcoming match, with one suggestion being that Erling Haaland will once again fail to score against the Black Cats. The Norwegian has faced them twice in league competition and has yet to find the net. However, this is not expected to hinder City, who are expected to secure a confident 3-0 victory, with Antoine Semenyo anticipated to net the opener.
Moreover, the full return of Jeremy Doku is on the cards as the Belgian has recovered from an injury sustained during the FA Community Shield match and could feature for about 70 minutes on the pitch.
