Sunderland are facing a difficult challenge trying to keep a very good Manchester City at bay this Sunday. Right now, The Sky Blues have the deadliest attacking line in the league, along with Liverpool and their own SAS (Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge), in Sergio Aguero and strike partner Alvaro Negredo who have scored 12 goals combined so far this season. Against CSKA Moscow they really came together and showed how dangerous they can be, when the Spaniard netting a hat-trick and the little Argentinian chipping in with two goals to boot. When you compare the two sides and the quality that City have over Sunderland, it's hard to see how Gus Poyet's side will stop the amount of attacking options that they possess. There isn't a lot to do against such a strong side, but here are five ideas on how Sunderland can try stop a rampant City side.
