Team News

Sunderland
Leicester
  • Timothee Pembele may make a rare start in midweek after Trai Hume picked up his 10th yellow card of the season on Saturday afternoon.
  • Abdoullah Ba and Nazarii Rusyn could also enjoy starts after featuring from the bench on Saturday.
  • Centre-back Jannik Vestergaard serves the final instalment of his suspension on Tuesday night.
  • Winger Kasey McAteer joins midfielder Wilfred Ndidi on the sidelines for the trip to the Stadium of Light.
  • Ricardo Pereira is a doubt after missing the game against QPR, while Dennis Praet will miss out after picking up an injury during that game.

Prediction

  • Sunderland had no response to Josh Sargent's late strike on Saturday as they were beaten 1-0 on the road by an in-form Norwich side. Mike Dodds' men have now suffered four successive league defeats, ending any lingering hopes of a return to playoff contention heading into the final 11 games of the season.
  • Similar to their hosts, Leicester are also suffering from their worst run of the season. The Foxes have lost three Championship matches on the spin, all but wiping out their considerable advantage at the top of the table in the process. Enzo Maresca's side sit just three points clear of second-placed Ipswich, and five clear of Leeds in third.
