Signs are in place that Roberto Mancini’s vastly expensive squad is beginning to gel, which could be a good omen as Manchester City prepare for one of their favourite away fixtures of recent seasons at Sunderland.

Paddy Power Free Bets Sunderland Man City

Sunderland returned to the Premier League for the 2005/06 season after spending two years in the Championship and have not beaten City in the four campaigns since, including suffering three defeats at the Stadium of Light.

However, progress was made last season when they ended a run of nine straight defeats when collecting a 1-1 draw at home and it is 10/3 with Paddy Power that they will improve again and gain their first three points of the season.

If Steve Bruce’s team are to achieve victory then it is virtually assured that striker Darren Bent will find the target as it is over a year since they won a game without him scoring.

It is 9/2 with Stan James for Bent to be the first goalscorer and with City yet to concede in all competitions this season, 1-0 is the most probable scoreline in Sunderland’s favour, a result which can be backed at 8/1.

Meanwhile, Sunderland tend to be fairly strong at the Stadium of Light and only lost once their in the league last season, against Manchester United.

A draw is 5/2 with Bet365, although a league game between the two has not finished goalless since 1938.

Mancini is likely to return to full strength after rotating his squad for the midweek Europa League victory over FC Timisoara, with Carlos Tevez expected to start.

He is evens to find the target at any time and City are 5/6 to return to Manchester with the three points.

Can Bent find the net once more? Or can Carlos Tevez take centre stage? Whatever you decide, don’t forget to take advantage of 888Sports free £20 ‘no lose’ bet and take the worry out of betting! Be quick – claim your free £20 bet here.
