Sunderland v Manchester City Live

Sunderland will be searching for their second successive win when they play Manchester City in a Premier League encounter on Sunday.

Manager Roy Keane will hope his vastly imporved side put up a worthy performance at home against a team that is still struggling to come to grips with the turmoil over owner Thaksin Shinawatra. However Sunderland may find the going difficult as five first choice players are expected to face late fitness tests.

Steed Malbranque is struggling with an ankle injury, while new arrival Anton Ferdinand is not match fit. Kieran Richardson is battling a rib injury, while Teemu Tainio is yet to recover from his injury.

Manchester City continue to be without Valeri Bojinov and Darius Vassell, but Vincent Kompany should feature in this game.
