With a big match against Liverpool looming, Roberto Mancini has made some changes to his Manchester City side for their match against Sunderland. Of course, because Manchester City has just about the most expensive team in the world, the players that he's selected are still world class or thereabouts, and this starting XI still looks like one that could win the Premier League. Sunderland's one big piece of news is that goalkeeper Kieran Westwood is injured. Martin O'Neill will play with his normal wide and rigid 4-4-2, with Stephane Sessegnon as a second striker.
Manchester City Lineup (4-5-1): Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov; De Jong, Barry, Y. Toure, A. Johnson, Nasri; Dzeko
Sunderland Lineup (4-4-2): Mignolet; Gardner, Colback, Brown, O'Shea; Larsson, McClean, Cattermole, Vaughan; Sessegnon, Bendtner
Kickoff is at 10:00 a.m. ET, 3:00 p.m. local time. You can catch the game on FOX Soccer Channel in the USA, Sportsnet World in Canada, and Sky Sports 1 in the UK.
