Manchester City vs Sunderland: Premier League betting tips, odds and predictions

• Ladbrokes brings you the latest betting tips for Manchester City vs Sunderland

• Sunderland are tipped to get a handy draw at City with both sides on the scoresheet

• Phil Foden is backed to continue his fine form with Brian Brobbey selected as Sunderland's danger man

Fresh off a thrilling midweek victory, Manchester City are in Premier League action once again as they welcome surprise package Sunderland to the Etihad.

City came out on top in a 5-4 thriller at Fulham to keep themselves within touching distance of Arsenal in the title race, while Sunderland's impressive season continued with a well-deserved 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield, with just five points separating the Citizens in second and the Black Cats in sixth ahead of this encounter.

Ahead of what should be an exciting game at 3pm on Saturday, check out Ladbrokes' latest betting tips and predictions for your Man City vs Sunderland bet builder.

Erling Haaland's sensational season in front of goal means the Norwegian offers little value in the goalscorer markets, so we have picked another of their in-form stars to find the net again.

Phil Foden has scored twice in each of his last two games against Leeds and Fulham and looks to be getting back to his best once again, showing the kind of form which saw him win the PFA Player of the Year in 2023/24.

While it would be no surprise to see Haaland on the scoresheet, we also think backing Foden as one of City's goalscorers is the smart pick.

City are free-scoring at the moment but they are also vulnerable defensively, conceding six goals across their last two league games as they continue to lack the control over games they have had so often in previous title-winning seasons.

That is before you mention Sunderland's prowess in front of goal, with their new-look side packed with players capable of scoring from all across the pitch. With the Black Cats causing issues for both Chelsea and Liverpool away from home this season, we think they are good value to also find the net in East Manchester.

Granit Xhaka and Noah Sidiki are both walking a tightrope on four yellow cards each this season and will want to avoid a ban ahead of next weekend's Wear-Tyne derby, so we think the shots on target market might be the better option to go for here.

Wilson Isidor is Sunderland's top scorer this season but summer signing from Ajax Brian Brobbey is beginning to find his feet in the Premier League, having netted against both Arsenal and Bournemouth in recent games.

The Dutch striker will likely be handed another start on Saturday and we think he will test Gianluigi Donnarumma with at least one shot on target.

Finally, we are backing Sunderland to grab another handy point against a top Premier League team to continue their excellent return to the top flight this season.

The Black Cats have already taken points off the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa and won away at Chelsea and they will be in confident mood to take the game to Pep Guardiola's men. While City are generally pretty formidable at home, Leeds' comeback from two goals down last weekend provided a good blueprint to test the hosts even if they did end up on the losing side.
