Manchester City have shown us this week they are a team to definitely watch out for and Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have to be careful and keep the ball rolling week after week to avoid any chance of a slip up.

New captain Carlos Tevez led from the front in the game against Liverpool and with the support of Johnson, it looking to step his game up to the next level to push forward with the help of a tough core of midfielders in De Jong, Toure and Barry. Joe Hart has been a stand out performer, and looks on his way towards being the goalkeeper of the season.

Sunderland have been struggling so far grabbing 1 draw and losing 1 game so far, but been a bit shaky defensively especially with the absence of Gordon, but have still managed to hang on so far. 

Their first real test in the league will come against Manchester City in this game, and with a real attacking lineup that will probably put forward towards them, I don't see any chance for Sunderland of even grabbing a draw in this one.
