Kick-off is scheduled for 12:00 (UK), with the game available to watch live right here on mancity.com and the Official Man City App.
Ben Wilkinson’s side will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League 2 following our 2-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.
The loss saw us drop to 19th, outside of the play-off places with 12 games remaining of the League Phase.
But a triumph on the road at the beginning of our festive fixtures could move us into the top 16.
Sunderland have also struggled to find consistent form this season and find themselves in 24th with seven points.
It means it’s a must-win game for both sides. So who will come out on top?
