Premier League Betting Preview: Manchester City vs Sunderland

Second-placed Manchester City host Sunderland at Etihad Stadium, with kick-off set for 11:00 on Saturday 6 December.

An Asian Handicap bet on Man City -1.75 at odds of -125 means we need a victory by more than two goals for a full payout. The stake will be split between -1.5 and -2.0 when the favourites take on Sunderland and we’re expecting a big win.

Manchester City have triumphed in their last six Premier League home games. Most recently, they won on the road when beating Fulham 5-4 at Craven Cottage. Pep Guardiola's team recorded four shots on target and had 43% possession, with Phil Foden scoring two of the goals.

Sunderland played out a 1-1 draw in their previous game. This was away from home at Anfield, with Liverpool the opponents. The Black Cats had just 33% of the ball and recorded six shots on goal, while Chemsdine Talbi was on the scoresheet.
