It was a game City needed to win, given Arsenal’s loss to Aston Villa earlier in the day.
Standing in our way was a buoyant Sunderland, a team nobody expected to be in the top six by early December.
Could the Blues follow up slightly nervy wins over Leeds United and Fulham with a convincing win against the Black Cats?
Our Full Match Replay offers fans the chance to watch the game from the first kick to the last.
So, if you’ve managed to avoid the score so far, sit back and watch the whole 90 minutes via your CITY+ subscription...
