Wetin dey happen, my people! Na New Year Day as Manchester City dey roll enter Sunderland for Premier League clash wey fit ginger their title race. Na so dem fall behind league leaders Arsenal on Thursday, but if dem fit beat Sunderland today, dem go just dey two points behind. Na wetin I sabi o!

City no get wahala for confidence as dem don chop eight wins back-to-back across all competitions. Last month, dem don hammer Sunderland 3-0 with Rayan Cherki dey shine like star. But as January dey come loaded with matches, Pep Guardiola fit need to rotate him squad small, but injuries and international duties dey limit the selection vibe.

Donnarumma go stand for goal as e dey expect serious work today. On the right back, na Rico Lewis wey fit come in, Matheus Nunes don play wahala level of football lately, so Guardiola fit use Lewis for fresh legs. Rúben Dias go pick where he left off, last time he lace one thunderbolt goal wey resemble Vincent Kompany’s historic strike.

For centre-back, Gvardiol too dey ready, after he don score for them last meeting against Sunderland. O’Reilly go dey hold down left back position as Rayan Aït-Nouri dey represent Algeria for AFCON. Nishi for that midfield go be Nico González, plus Tijjani Reijnders wey don find him scoring boots back-to-back. This guy dey bring serious threat near the box.

For the wings, Savinho fit enter as Guardiola dey think how to reshuffle him pack. Rayan Cherki go dey on goals with Phil Foden, wey dey play fit under the radar but still dey shine with assists and goals this season. Up front, na Haaland we dey always put our eyes, as he dey hot for goals sef.

As we dey enter the pitch today, the atmosphere fit dey sizzling. Sunderland no dey carry last, dem don dey bounce back with solid performances; they dey sit at seventh place with 28 points. Manager Regis Le Bris get plenty options and dem no be pushovers. But if City fit match their pace, dem go keep their title chase alive. Prediction? I see Sunderland 0-2 Manchester City sha!
