We face Regis Le Bris’ side at 20:00 (UK) on Thursday 1 January, just a few weeks after a 3-0 defeat of the Black Cats at the Etihad.
Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Phil Foden got the goals that day, but this video is all about the goals we’ve scored in the north east.
With Sunderland out of the top-flight for eight seasons before this year, we have to go back to 2014/15 for our fifth most recent goal at Sunderland.
Pablo Zabaleta’s beautifully deft chip starts this video before Sergio Aguero swept home later that day to complete a convincing 4-1 victory.
It was that man again the following season, poking high into the net for the only goal in a tight encounter.
Finally, we go to 2016/17 and a delicate Aguero finish ahead of a typical Leroy Sane hit low under the goalkeeper.
City favourites everywhere!
