I wouldn't be too critical of Sunderland seeing as we lost there last season.
They will be very difficult to break down and have pace on the break in Sessegnon and Mclean plus a goalscorer in Fletcher.
Teams like Reading changed tactics to play us, but Sunderland will just play their normal game. That's why it will be difficult.
Low-scoring game

Can't see Clichy starting, according to DH's training report he was only doing running yesterday, no ball work.

All this talk of a sneaky 0 - 1 win makes me laugh, if you think we can win the league playing for a 0 - 1 then you need your head testing, we need to start putting the ball in the back of the net and punishing these below average prem teams.
As far as I'm concerned I'm with Mancini on this, our strikers are playing well below par this season.

We had 21 shots versus Reading but it took a great goal to beat Reading. Tevez and Aguero are mis-firing at the moment
Whilst I agree that Sunderland are on paper one of the poorest Premiership teams based on their League position, their game is one we have problems with - determined defence. MON has them set up to play on the counter-attack. They have also just one a 6 pointer at Southampton, and the SOL is one of the noisiest grounds in the country and will be even noisier than usual seeing as they are playing the Champions in front of what will be a big holiday crowd.
Another game where I would not be too disappointed with a point. Obviously we go to win, but we must take something from the game and a point away is not a disaster. Utd are not convincing anyone at the moment, and if we put together another unbeaten run we'll reel them in.

No one is wanting us to play for a 0-1, people are just saying it's not going to be an easy game. You may think that we should be battering these 'below average' teams, but all of them up their games when they play us.
Don't be over confident because it will come back and bite you on the arse.
