Sunderland vs Man City live streams make up a quarter of this year’s traditional New Year’s Day fixtures, with the Black Cats and Citizens both looking to capitalize on excellent first halves of their respective seasons.
Sunderland have confounded many pundits who expected them to go straight back to the Championship following their promotion last summer. Relatively inexperienced manager Régis Le Bris has brought out the best in his squad, with veteran captain Granit Xhaka leading the way from midfield. Two draws have followed their thrilling Tyne–Wear derby victory, but they must now deal with losing no fewer than six squad members for the Africa Cup of Nations.
After an uncertain month of November, Pep Guardiola’s men have collected eight straight wins in all competitions, including one in the Champions League over Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. They may start 2026 behind Arsenal, but confidence in the City camp will be sky high as they look for a seventh Premier League title in nine years and Erling Haaland looks to add to his 19 league goals.
