There will be three minutes of stoppage time to be played.

The home fans have long been making their way out of the stadium as it seems that City have once again got the better of them.

Wright-Phillips is caught offside as he looks to bag his hat-rick, and the game is very comfortable for City now in the closing stages.

The away fans are still in very good voice as they believe this game is sown up, and the way Sunderland are playing at the moment, they could well be right.

The referee seems to be losing his head as he seems reluctant to give fouls or bookings so as to keep a lid on events, luckily, this hasn't really affected the game as of yet.

Vedran Corluka and Vincent Kompany are both on the end of very bad fouls, Hughes is furious that neither challenge resulted in at least a booking.

After 3 years in the wilderness at Chelsea, it almost seems as if Wright-Phillips never left City as he shows everyone the form we all know he once had.

Hughes will be very pleased with how Hamman and Wright-Phillips have worked together this game, and with Sunderland looking to push men forward, this can only mean an even more open game.

The City fans are on the feet and raising their voices, they believe this game is there for the taking, and what a story for Wright-Phillips, scoring on his second-comming to City.

Wright-Phillips goes on a great run down the left-hand side, he puts in a great ball into Jo in the box, however Gordon makes a great claim and Sunderland avoid the danger.

Diouf heads the ball on target, Hart and Dunne get involved in a mix-up, and a scramble in the area eventually results in the ball being cleared to saftey.

Kompany seems to foul Malbranque, the home fans are very angry that the Danish international hasn't recieved his second yellow card for that foul, and Keane is furious on the touchline.

Dunne appears to foul Malbranque, and the fans call out for a booking, the referee however decides otherwise and play continues.

Diouf once again throws himself to the ground inside the box, the referee has a word with the striker, however Hughes believes the dive should have resulted in a yellow card.

After a bright start from the Black Cats, City have got themselves back into this game, and Mark Hughes will be pleased with his side at the moment.

Dunne, who is making his 300th start for City today, makes a great defensive block that concedes a corner.

Jo receives the ball and attempts a long range shot, the effort is closed down by a Sunderland defender, and City, it appears, have finally woken up to this game.

A good move by City, and jo is the main playmaker in it as he shows good strength while running into the box, the ball finds Kompany, who's shot is blocked and cleared.

Shaun Wright-Phillips seems to have fitted right back in to the City set-up, and goes on a dangerous run down the wing that is only stopped when Phil Bardsley fouls him.

The ball sits up for Steed Malbranque, who tries his luck from range, however, he connects very badly, and the effort is high over the bar.

Chimbonda hits a cross-come-shot that appears to scrap the bar on its way across the goal, the ball however ends up going out for a throw.

Grant Leadbitter tries his luck from the edge of the box after the ball was laid off to him from a corner, the effort is just wide of the post.

Jo is easily pushed off the ball, and after a slightly lackluster performance midweek, the striker will be looking to impress and justify his large transfer fee.

Wright-Phillips receives his first few touches of the game, and City fans are very pleased that the playmaker has returned to their side.
