The Gunners won last Tuesday (30/12) and regained their current advantage. Guardiola’s team, who are aiming for the title, must win to avoid letting Arteta’s team draw.
For the match, the Spaniard confirmed that he could have Rodri and Doku for a few minutes. Both athletes are returning from injury and can enter the field. The trio Cherki, Foden and Haaland should start in the clash.
On the other hand, Sunderland is one of the surprises of the English Championship. In seventh place, the club can consolidate itself in the fight for a place in European competitions. In case of victory, the team reaches 31 points and overtakes Chelsea and Manchester United.
Where to watch
The match between Sunderland and Manchester City, at Estádio da Luz, Sunderland, at 5 p.m., will be broadcast on Espn (closed channel) and Disney+ (pay-per-view).
