Sunderland vs Man city (Asian Handicap) prediction

After seeing off a relegation threatened A. villa with a pretty mixed team in the FA cup during the weekend, I expect city to continue with another convincing win here over Sunderland. Its no news now that city are on the verge of yet another silverware at wembley after they made it to the final of the capital one cup knocking out Everton 3-1 at the Etihad stadium. The likes of Arguero, Yaya toure and Silva were given a rest in the game against Aston villa and I expect them to be recalled to the starting line up here. Nasri, Kompany, Kolarov are still on their way to recovery and would not take part here. Sunderland are 19th on the log with 19 points after 23 games. They were knocked out of the FA cup by Arsenal in the last round of the tournament so they have over a week of rest before they face city here. They have a 3-3-5 record at the stadium of light scoring 13 and conceding 12. They were tied to a point in a pretty winnable game against Bournemouth in their last game and today, they face a more difficult test. Most of their losses at home have all come by 1 goal margin but I expect city to surpass that. Man city are 3 points off leicester city who are top of the table and are just above arsenal on goal difference so this is not far from a must win game for them. Leicester have an uneasy game against Liverpool so this is a chance city has got to leapfrog them to the top spot if they lose out. City has won sunderland by a 4-1 scoreline twice this season so I think they are going to cover our handicap. Both teams have also scored in the last 6 games between these two so a goal goal is also a decent bet here but for me am sticking with city here to win by a couple of goals with a fresh squad. A 1-3 or 1-4 possible scoreline. GL!
