What They're Saying

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via Goal): "Yaya Toure was not able to play 90 minutes [against Burnley]. It was a risk. He can do it, [but] maybe it was a risk for him. The players that played [against Burnley] were the players that were able to do it. Yaya felt a problem at the beginning of the last game against West Brom. He was not 100 percent recuperated. I think that it was not good for him to play. We will see [if he is available for Sunderland]. We hope that he will be because it was a less problem, but after 48 hours, maybe it's too high-risk injury to repeat."

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet (via Sky Sports): "The idea here is to stay calm, know where we are, be realistic and keep working hard."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: With Sergio Aguero still recovering from injury, Manchester City turn to Stevan Jovetic atop the formation. In 10 league appearances, the 25-year-old has four goals and an assist.

Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hart; Clichy, Mangala, Demichelis, Zabaleta; Fernandinho, Toure; Silva, Lampard, Nasri; Jovetic

Sunderland's Projected Lineup (4-1-4-1): Pantilimon; Jones, Brown, O'Shea, Vergini; Cattermole; Wickham, Larsson, Gomez, Johnson; Fletcher
