Premier League
2.05pm Sunday

Manchester City were contained by a defensive masterclass from neighbours Manchester United on Thursday but are likely to cut loose at the Riverside.

Middlesbrough have to try to push for three points but could leave themselves horribly exposed against a City attack boosted by the return to fitness of Gabriel Jesus.

The Citizens should get the win they need to further their top-four hopes but may concede a consolation goal to a Boro side fighting for their lives.

Recommendation
Man City to win and both teams to score
