    Man City vs Sunderland
    Sunderland seem to have a spade of injuries, but how much will home advantage consolidate that? City with a few players back, -1 seems to be a good option @ $2.07, perhaps over 2.5 @ $1.8.

    I'm close to pulling the trigger, give me a reason not to...

    -1 has gone from 1.87 to 2.17, that's major movement. City are playing without as much pressure since United dropped points and with their African players about to leave City want a win. But that line movement spooks me.

      Here's why:

      City rest Sergio Aguero, Mario Balotelli and David Silva

        looks good to me. I laid the draw but don't see any problem with this play either.

        Edit, upon seeing the above news maybe not so good.

            They're rested but silva & aguero are on the bench so I imagine if things aren't going well after the hour mark they'll come in. City have a chance to put some distance between themselves and the rest and I imagine that Mancini will want to take advantage of United's slip up yesterday.

            Regardless, probably still would've stayed away if I saw the team sheet even though their replacements are still quality.

            Under may be the play now.

              Lucky I didn't pull the trigger, I was also thinking of 1st half plays but those outs are too much for Man City.

                Massive line drop. City ML went from -200 to -150 in the blink of an eye?!@

                    Wouldn't touch it. Sunderland are missing their regular keeper and defense is their weakness at best of times. If City can put 6 past United they can put 3 past Sunderland even without Silva and Aguero.

                      Sunderland will probably score at home 1-1 or 2-1 man city will likely hit

                        Line swinging back the other way, took them -.5 and -1. I think Sunderland outs can't be denied either.

                          Not really any clear cut opportunities for city, hopefully see silva & aguero after HT.

                                Don't think it's gonna happen, sunderland should be in front, Sessegnon should've cut back and it would be 1-0, sunderland defending well, even with a makeshift back line. really tight in the middle, and when city bring it wide the service has been poor. wouldn't shock me to see city knick it at the death although I'm not optimistic.

                                    Sunderland 1-0!

                                    All over, offside but no flag.

                                        You just can't have three major upsets like that in one round in any competition, there's no such thing as a coincidence.

                                              Sorry if you lost friend... But three fixed matches, orchestrated between 6 teams? I beg to differ. You may see it in a single 'nobody gives a %#&!' cup match south of Stuttgart *cough* Palermo v. Siena *cough*. EPL is volatile, and top tier teams have failed the role as favorites since boxing day. I think coincidence is a more viable explanation than match fixing.

                                                  was it that bad? I haven't seen the match but even with the reserves team I was expecting a comfortable win.

                                                  Also I understand that the goal was really a lucky one in the last minute.

                                                    City dominated the game, it's pretty unbelievable how many chances they missed, hitting the crossbar and hitting it too hard over the bar. It was probably a little bit of new years hangover. I'm not trying to side with any teams here but that Sunderland goal was clearly offside.

                                                      sorry i think lookingtostart has a point

                                                      here's some questionable results

                                                      city beat utd 6-1 at old trafford
                                                      man utd beat arsenal 8-2
                                                      arsenal beat chelsea 4-3 after losing to blackburn 3-2
                                                      villa beat chelsea 3-1 at the bridge
                                                      city can't beat west brom and then lose to sunderland 1-0
                                                      united lose to blackburn 3-2

                                                      doesn't make sense man

                                                        arsenal beat chelsea 4-3 after losing to blackburn 3-2
                                                        villa beat chelsea 3-1 at the bridge
                                                        city can't beat west brom and then lose to sunderland 1-0
                                                        united lose to blackburn 3-2

                                                        doesn't make sense man

                                                          Yeah you guys are right, the 3 biggest clubs in english football were fixing matches in the same round, it's a sure thing.

                                                            Questionable result or not

                                                            It is not unusual for English teams to decide the result in the last minute, but let's be realistic about this result. Top teams sometime are not focused and with a trainer like Mancini who doesn't know how to structure an offensive team and to have a good strategy the outcome is a loosing one.
                                                            City has a wonderful team, but a bad trainer in relationship with the players and which does not know how to put them in the ground. Pay attention that this result continues the previous loosing series and be expected in the future not to be reliable.

                                                              so are you guys saying that champions league matches were fixed too? it doesn't make any sense. I don't think they can make more money from getting out of champions league with fixed games than from qualifying... just because these teams are top of the EPL doesn't mean they are the best in the world at their current form. Honestly, Man Utd got the easiest group possible and they messed it up. I don't think it has anything to do with fixing. Sir Alex hates losing more than he loves winning...

That is more of a likely explanation than a whole team of players on million dollar salaries fixing matches for a few dollars. At most in these types of leagues 1 or 2 players or the referee can be involved in match fixing, but they can't always influence things their way, and i don't think the referee was a big influence in these losses.

                                                                      These days in soccer anyone can beat anyone on any given day. Especially in the EPL which is the most even league.
