SUNDERLAND boss David Moyes has named an unchanged side for this afternoon's Premier League game with Manchester City.

Moyes has stuck with the same line-up for the first time in the Premier League this season as he looks to guide the Black Cats away from the foot of the table.

Papy Djilobodji is available again after serving a four-match suspension, but Moyes has kept faith with John O'Shea and Lamine Kone at the heart of the back four.

Darron Gibson and Seb Larsson will play on either side of Didier Ndong in midfield, with Fabio Borini and Adnan Januzaj once again filling the wide positions.

Pep Guardiola has left Kevin de Bruyne out of Manchester City's starting line-up, with David Silva, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane playing behind Sergio Aguero.

SUNDERLAND (4-3-3): Pickford; Jones, O'Shea, Kone, Oviedo; Larsson, Ndong, Gibson; Borini, Defoe, Januzaj.

Subs: Mannone (gk), Djilobodji, Manquillo, Love, Honeyman, Rodwell, Khazri.

MAN CITY (4-2-3-1): Caballero; Sagna, Stones, Kolarov, Clichy; Toure, Fernandinho; Sterling, Silva, Sane; Aguero.

Subs: Bravo (gk), Otamendi, Fernando, Delph, de Bruyne, Nolito, Iheanacho.
