Sunderland welcome Man City to the Stadium of Light for this weekends fixture. Roy Keane`s side are looking to stretch their winning streak to four in a row.
Sunderland are without Ross Wallace, Dickson Etuhu, Dwight Yorke and Darren Ward.
Reid`s passing ability could be key in this encounter expect the Irish midfielder to have a big influence on whether we get a result or not.
Man City are without Nedum Onuoha and Micah Richards
The Brazilian has been City best player this season 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
