Defensive duo absent for City
Defenders Micah Richards and Jerome Boateng will both be missing as Manchester City resume their quest for a Champions League spot against Sunderland at Eastlands on Sunday.
Richards injured a hamstring on England Under-21 duty a week ago and is out for at least a fortnight, while Boateng faces six weeks on the sidelines once he has knee surgery in the next few days.
Pablo Zabaleta is available after returning from a mercy dash to Argentina to visit his ill father.
