Sunderland U18 form and stats
Sunderland U18's struggle is real here with only 6 points collected from 9 Premier League U18 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-7. It's trouble wherever Sunderland are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Derby U18 game.
The Sunderland fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. As for conceded goals, Sunderland's unpleasant statistic is 23 goals surrendered.
Manchester City U18 form and stats
The away team, who have the fewest conceded goals (18) in Premier League U18, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Premier League U18.
As mentioned above, Manchester was the only team on the pitch versus Leeds United U18 in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
The Manchester manager C. Vicens has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Manchester have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
