Manchester City will aim to maintain their perfect Premier League start when they host Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Citizens have won their opening four league matches and arrive with six consecutive victories across all competitions, scoring 15 goals while keeping clean sheets in their last four games. Their momentum was strengthened by a 5-0 EFL Cup victory over Norwich City, where 17-year-old academy graduate Floyd Samba scored twice on his full debut. City have also lost only twice in their last 30 Premier League matches and remain unbeaten in all 14 previous home league meetings with Sunderland, recording 12 wins and two draws. Sunderland head into the fixture with four points from their opening four Premier League matches, including one victory, one draw and two defeats.

West Bromwich Albion has shown strong form in the league. After seven league games, they've achieved 4 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, amassing 14 points to sit in 5th place. Their home and away records are equally impressive. At home, they've played 4 games, with 2 wins and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten.

In their last six matches, the team has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, maintaining a high - level performance. They've scored a total of 10 goals, indicating a stable attack, and conceded only 7, showing reliable defense. The team has a well - balanced offense and defense.

Bielefeld's form in the new season has been somewhat inconsistent. They've managed 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses in 5 league games, amassing 4 points and sitting 14th in the league standings. The team's home performance is decent. In their 2 home games, they secured 1 win and 1 draw, remaining undefeated. However, their away form is abysmal, with all 3 away games ending in defeat. Their overall state in the last 5 matches, with the same record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses, shows they're in relatively poor form. Offensively, they've scored 8 goals this season, indicating they can pose a threat. But defensively, they've conceded 10 goals, suggesting there are many holes in their back - line. When playing at home, Bielefeld tends to take the initiative. They look for scoring opportunities through wing attacks and midfield runs. The home crowd can provide an extra boost to the team. Yet, there are concerns. The poor away form has dampened the team's confidence. The back - line lacks coordi
