    Manager Pep Guardiola will be relying on a core group when Manchester City tackles Sunderland away in Premier League football from 9am

    Manager Pep Guardiola will be relying on a core group when Manchester City tackles Sunderland away in Premier League football from 9am


    He's named the same starting eleven six times this season - the most of his 10-year career at the club.

    Guardiola has a simple explanation - injuries have robbed him of contenders.



    Brentford and Tottenham also kick-off at 9am

    Liverpool and Leeds are scoreless in the second half, but Crystal Palace are up 1-nil over Fulham.

    Today marks the halfway point in the season.
