Manchester City vs. Sunderland FC: Match Preview

The Manchester City fans can enjoy new signings this season: Ruben Sobrino (Ponferradina), Ilkay Gundogan (Dortmund), Duran Nolito (Celta Vigo), Oleksandr Zinchenko (Ufa). But Ilkay Gundogan is currently injured and not able to help his team in this game. If approaching to the head-to-head record between two clubs, then it goes a rather remarkable fact which says: Last games between these two teams have been goal-rich, an average of 4.2 goals per game. This is true. We must remember when they played twice with the score 4:1 in 2015, and once it was 3:2 in favour of the "Citizens". Thus, the tradition would be continued if we once again see a goal-rich match including at least 3 goals or more. The outcome potentially goes for three or more goals may be scored in this scuffle.
