    Les Red Devils peuvent se frotter les mains. En cas de victoire lundi soir à Blackburn, Manchester United pourrait compter cinq points d'avance en tête de classement sur City et prendre ainsi une option sur le titre en Angleterre. Guère habitués à jouer le titre, les Citizens semblent effectivement en train de flancher dans le sprint final comme en témoigne leur match nul à domicile face à l'Etihad Stadium contre Sunderland (3-3).  Ce match semblait être une formalité pour Manchester City qui restait sur une série de quinze victoires à domicile en quinze match. Néanmoins, son adversaire du jour, Sunderland, avait déjà surpris les Citizens lors du match aller. Les coéquipiers de Stéphane Sessegnon s'étaient imposés dans les derniers instants du match (1-0). Et c'est avec la même envie que les Black cats abordent ce match face à City, dans son antre.

Manchester United accueille Sunderland pour le compte de la 19ème journée de Premiere League. Les hommes de Sir Alex Ferguson ont l'occasion de poursuivre leur belle série et de prendre de l'avance en tête du championnat. Mais ils doivent se méfier des joueurs de Steve Bruce, à l'aise contre les favoris.

Les joueurs de Manchester United ont très bien réussi leur remontée vers le haut du tableau. Il est vrai, bien aidé par les performances moyennes de Chelsea. Ils ont maintenant une avance de deux points sur Arsenal avec un match en moins. Cela les place dans une position très avantageuse avant d'accueillir Sunderland pour l'ouverture du Boxing Day. Une période où les hommes de Sir Alex Ferguson sont traditionnellement très bons. Sur leurs 16 dernières sorties juste après Noël, les Red Devils se sont imposés 15 fois. Ils ont également viré en tête à la sortie du Boxing Day à cinq reprises et ont remporté la Premiere League quatre fois sur les cinq. L'équipe d'Old Trafford reste la seule équipe encore invaincue en Premiere League, et a remporté ses trois derniers matchs. La récente victoire sur Arsenal a fait du bien, avant d'aborder un match difficile contre les hommes de Steve Bruce. Ferguson en est conscient, la partie s'annonce compliquée : "Nous avons été heureux de rapporter un point de Sunderland en octobre, c'est l'un des matches les plus difficiles que nous ayons eu à disputer."

Club Spotlight : Sunderland History

  Having won six Championships before the Second World War and survived in the Football League from 1890 until 1958 without ever being relegated, Sunderland cherished their claim to be the only club never to play outside the top flight. However, since that first ever relegation in 1958, 'The Lads' have become one of the proverbial 'Yo-Yo' clubs and haven't finished in the top half of the top division since ninth place was achieved in 1956. Considering this prolonged period of failure at the top level - with the sole exception of the glorious day in 1973 when Sunderland became the first Second Division side in forty-two years to win the FA Cup - it is amazing that Sunderland can still count on such sizeable and optimistic support. Then again, it is the fact that Sunderland have such fanatical followers that makes them such a fascinating club.

English Leagues the 70s: The Big Match January 1978 1979

  Although England were not present, the World Cup in Argentina precipitated a revolution in the Football League. In a wave of ticker-tape, Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa arrived at Tottenham, Alberto Tarrantini joined Birmingham and Alex Sabella linked up with Sheffield United. Suddenly, overseas players were all the rage. Arnold Muhren brought his subtle skills from Holland to Ipswich, Ivan Golac became a popular full-back at Southampton and, within 18 months, nearly every First and Second Division club had at least flirted with imports. Jimmy Hill, discussing the affair with Everton manager Gordon Lee in the first Match of the Day of the new season, thought that it was a positive step. 'We've always been too insular in our thinking,' was the verdict of the BBC's soccer pundit. Come November, Hill's own island was invaded. ITV announced they had pulled off an exclusive deal with the Football League for future coverage of their matches. It was headlined: 'Snatch of the Day'. The referee from the Office of Fair Trading blew his whistle on the deal. But the BBC lost their inherent right to Saturday night football. For the next four seasons, the two channels would alternate, with Match of the Day switching to Sunday afternoons for seasons 1980/1 and 1982/3.

 Sundeland became the first Division Two side lo win the FA Cup for 42 years when they beat Leeds 1-0 at Wembley, and at the end manager Bob Slokoe ran on to the field straight into the arms of keeper Jim Montgomery. For "Monty" had made a double save midway through the second half that denied Leeds when an equalizer seemed inevitable, with one of the most remarkable pieces of goalkeeping ever seen. Before the match, Sunderland were given no chance. Leeds were the Cup-holders, had finished third in fhe League and were in the final of the European Cup-Winners' Cup. They were a mean side and had seen it all before. Sunderland, though, had a tremendous Wearside following and, as their Cup run progressed, they became infected by the fanaticism of a wonderful crowd. And the manner in which they had beaten Arsenal in the semi-final should have been a warning. At Wembley, they matched Leeds in spirit and showed no little skill. But it was still a shock when they look the lead through Ian Porterfield in the 52nd minute from their first corner. Leeds proceeded to grind away at Sunderland, yet the individual flair that might have made the breakthrough appears to have been sacrificed in this side for the sake of "professionalism".
