Man City v Sunderland: Anytime Goalscorer Tip

Since the Community Shield on 12 August, Manchester City have played 10 competitive matches in all competitions and not kept a single clean sheet. If there is one man who looks primed to take advantage of such defensive uncertainly it’s Steven Fletcher - a best price 4/1 (StanJames) to score anytime on Saturday afternoon.

The Sunderland hitman has had a dream start to life in the north-east by smashing in a remarkable 5 goals in 4 matches for his new club. If that doesn’t sound impressive enough, the Scot has found the net with every one of his shots on target to date. In other words, he doesn’t tend to need many opportunities.

Not that the Black Cats were shut out when Martin O’Neill brought his troops here in March anyway. Then without Fletcher, the Mackems still caused havoc en route to a 3-3 draw at the Etihad Stadium. Now with the £12m man brimming with confidence, who knows what’s possible.
