Leeds United host Sunderland in the Championship this evening as the promotion rivals go head-to-head at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke’s side are second the race for promotion and have been in scintillating recent form. Leeds have won seven of their last eight games and have not conceded a goal during that run, with their goal last breached at Hull City on January 4th. A point tonight will be enough to reclaim top spot from Sheffield United.

The visit of fourth-placed Sunderland begins a defining period in the club’s season. Leeds face fellow promotion hopefuls Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion in successive games after taking on The Black Cats.
Sunderland are still vying for automatic promotion after an excellent campaign under Régis Le Bris. However, the North East side will be hoping to avoid the seven-point gap to the top two widening this evening.
