da betsul： If Steve Bruce had wanted an indication of exactly how strong his Sunderland side have become over the last three months, he could not have asked for a stiffer test than a post-Yuletide trip to Manchester and the home of the league leaders. A win, could, remarkably, put the Wearside club only four points from the league’s summit come Sunday night.
da fazobetai： Bruce will point to his side’s shock result against Chelsea as an indication that the Black Cats are capable of springing the required upset, however he may find that without Danny Welbeck, the United starlet ineligible against his parent club, much of the momentum behind Sunderland’s attacking drive is lost.
Sunderland will be able to boast the African Player of the year, Asamoah Gyan, and prolific Premier League marksman, Darren Bent in their line-up, however opportunities will be few and far between against a United side slowly starting to click into gear, as they begin a period where they are traditionally strong.
Prediction: 2-0
