Sunderland welcome Man City to the Stadium of Light for this weekends fixture. Roy Keane`s side are looking to win their third game on the trot after beating Spurs and Forest last week.
Sunderland are without Steed Malbranque, Kenweyne Jones, Teemu Tainio and the suspended Michael Chopra.
Kieran Richardson is a doubt and will face a lat fitness test
He was man of the match at Forest and is looking in good form.
Man City are without Valeri Bojinov, Benjani Mwaruwari and Darius Vassell
Sean Wight-Philips is expected to make his second debut after sign from Chelsea earlier in the week.
The Brazilian was City`s best player last season and we will have to mark him out the game to stand a chance of taking all three points.
In our last 6 league meetings with Man City on Wearside we have Won 2, Lost 3 and Drew 1.
Last time in the league at the Stadium of Light we lost 1 – 2 Manchester City`s
Darius Vassell stole the three points for City, his scuffed shot secured all three points for City. There other goal was a penalty which Elano scored. Our goal came from Dean Whitehead.
