Manchester United can go top if Manchester City lose at Tottenham Hotspur in the day’s early match, and they defeat Dick Advocaat’s side. Anthony Martial may make his second Premier League start as the 19-year-old striker looks for a fifth goal in five appearances for the club. Sunderland are bottom with two points, zero victories and have conceded 13 goals while scoring six. United, then, should record their fifth win of the term. Jamie Jackson
