Preamble

Elland Road under the lights. Second v fourth. Tonight’s Championship offering between two-promotion chasing sides, Leeds United and Sunderland is an absolute belter.

Leeds are on an absolute tear at the minute, winning five of their last six in the Championship (the other result a 0-0 draw away at Burnley). In those six matches they have scored 18 goals, averaging three a game, and conceded none. This is an important period for every club but with this feels particularly important for Leeds as they look to pull clear of the chasing pack for automatic promotion, with Burnley drawing 0-0 at Preston on Saturday. This is the first of three tough matches for the Yorkshire club, with Sheffield United (away) a week from today, followed by West Brom at home.

Sunderland are unbeaten in the league in 2025, but their form has recently flickered between wins and draws and second-placed Leeds are now in a commanding position. This feels like a crucial chance to reel in the top two.

The Black Cats have the youngest squad in the Championship littered with talent, particularly Jobe Bellingham, top scorer Wilson Isidor and Enzo Le Fée. The latter two both scored in Sunderland’s last outing, a 2-0 win over Luton. Patrick Roberts, a relative veteran at 28, has also been outstanding.

This one should be a cracker. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.
