Sunderland will be hoping to continue their rich vein of form this weekend when they host Manchester City at the Stadium of Light. Catch all the live premier league action here on watchfootballnow.com.
The Black Cats thumped Bolton 4-0 during a midweek fixture with Darren Bent grabbing a hat-trick after Frazier Campbell had given the side a lead in the first minute. Manager Steve Bruce will be delighted that his side has finally turned the corner after going winless for 15 games.
The win sees Sunderland occupy the 13th spot on the league table behind Blackburn Rovers with 30 points from 28 games. Kieran Richardson and Lee Cattermole are doubtful starters for this game, but Andy Reid could be on the bench for this one. David Meyler returns after serving a three-match ban.
Meanwhile Manchester City will hope they can build on their 2-4 win over Chelsea a fortnight ago and stake a serious claim for the fourth spot on the league table.
Manager Roberto Mancini would have been pleased with his side's display although defensive worries continue to exist. City are currently behind Tottenham on the fifth spot, but have a game in hand.
