Key factors
What will decide this match?
Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.
Home advantage
Edge: Even
Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Sunderland. That narrows the gap but does not cancel Man City's extra quality.
Expected goals
Edge: Goals
3.2 expected goals is above the league average, and over 2.5 goals lands 62% of the time in our simulations.
Quality gap
Edge: Man City
Man City rate clearly higher and the draw is only 19%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up
How will the two teams line up?
Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Sunderland
Sunderland are a practical mid-table side: solid without the ball at Stadium of Light, but lacking the creativity to run a game.
Away
Manchester City
Man City have a squad deep enough to challenge for the title. They squeeze opponents on their trip to Stadium of Light, so Sunderland will need a disciplined low block to stay in the game.
Risk radar
What could change the prediction?
The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.
If Man City name a weakened XI
Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.
If Sunderland score first
The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
