Ben Wilkinson and his side travel to the North East for a 12:00 (UK) kick-off today.
Our Elite Development Squad will be looking to get back to winning ways in the PL2 following a 2-0 defeat to Brighton last time out.
Heading into our trip to the Black Cats, City sit 19th with 10 points, one point outside the top 16 - the play-off places.
But also hoping to climb the table is 24th-placed Sunderland who have seven points after eight games.
With this afternoon’s clash a must-win for both teams, our latest league assignment is expected to be an exciting one.
Who will come out with three important points?
