Team News

Sunderland
Leeds
  • Ian Poveda played just 11 minutes before coming off with an injury on Tuesday night. He'll miss the visit of Leeds on Friday night.
  • Expect Regis Le Bris to name an unchanged starting XI this weekend following an impressive display against Derby.
  • Defensive midfield Ilia Gruev suffered an injury during the first half on Tuesday night and will likely be replaced by Joe Rothwell on Friday.
  • Elsewhere, Daniel James and Ethan Ampadu are among a further four confirmed absentees.

Prediction

  • Sunderland were in cruise control against Derby on Tuesday night as goals from Jobe Bellingham and Wilson Isidor set them on course for a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats are at the top of the standings heading into gameweek nine and have a 100 per cent record on home soil, keeping clean sheets in all four league outings.
  • Summer signing Largie Ramazani made the difference for Leeds in midweek as his 60th-minute goal cancelled out an early Josh Sargent penalty in a 1-1 draw against Norwich. Daniel Farke's men are one of just two sides in the division yet to taste defeat on their travels in the Championship this season.
