Sunderland v Leeds predictions

Leeds have been relentless in their pursuit of Championship pacesetters Leicester and Ipswich and they can keep up the pressure by defeating Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Daniel Farke's side have taken 19 points from their last seven games but are well aware of the need to keep their foot on the pedal in a hugely competitive promotion race.

The top two are on course to reach 100 points and Leeds will be eyeing up three figures if they can win their next three games leading up to the festive period.

While Farke's charges are keen to avoid an extended season, sixth-placed Sunderland would be delighted to keep their place in the playoffs.

The Black Cats responded to Tony Mowbray's surprise sacking with a 2-1 victory at home to West Brom, but they would have to play even better to match the division's form teams.

Leeds have already won at Ipswich (4-3) and Leicester (1-0) and should collect a sixth away win of the campaign.
