Manchester City and Sunderland will meet in an important Premier League match later today, but before that clash the two football teams from England have already taken each other on via the video game medium, using the first-person shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Joleon Lesscott represented Manchester City while Frazier Campbell was the Sunderland player on the controller and after a number of matches that used the new Content Collection 1 he emerged triumphant.

Campbell stated, “It definitely got us both pumped coming head-to-head on Call of Duty MW3 before the game on Saturday. I won 3-1 and if we can replicate that on the pitch it will be a right result. When I’m not playing football or, more recently, changing nappies, you can usually find me on Call of Duty. The new maps are fantastic to play - Joleon should’ve known he didn’t stand a chance!”

Lescott added, “I never like to lose whether it’s on or off the pitch. I've had good fun today - the new Modern Warfare 3 maps are amazing, but I hope to even the score with Fraizer on Saturday!”
