Savinho should have put his chance away too. Watching the game I was happy with a draw, but we needed to win to keep pressure on Arsenal. They've got some breathing room now

Unlucky in the end not to score. Gvardiol could have had a hat trick! He was getting in the right areas and producing much more than Haaland. Haaland himself was pretty much a waste of space. He missed a decent chance in the first half and was otherwise never in the right areas. A couple of points dropped but it was pretty desperate stuff from Sunderland at times at the back.

A poor half but Erling should really be burying the big chance that he had. The referee has been appalling. Foul after foul after foul not given so that Sunderland can disrupt City.

Good line up

Liverpool booed off after drawing 0-0 at home with Leeds.

CITY XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Ake, O'Reilly, Nico, Bernardo (C), Savinho, Foden, Cherki, Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Reijnders, Doku, Rodri, Gvardiol, Khusanov, Mukasa, Lewis, R. Heskey

SUNDERLAND XI: Roefs, Hume, Mukiele, Alderete, Cirkin, Xhaka (C), Geertruida, Le Fee, Mayenda, Adingra, Brobbey

Subs: Patterson, Neil, Rigg, Isidor, Mundle, Hjelde, H. Jones, O'Nien, Tutierov

A couple of changes. Reijnders and Gvardiol are out. Savinho and Ake are in.

Match day has arrived

Big win required

City to win 3-1

They are exceeding expectations so far

At the Sty. 

A nice end to the year,
