"Leeds played well on Saturday against Manchester City but failed to capitalise on the chances they created before falling for the sucker punch from Antoine Semenyo. Sunderland ground out a well-earned 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, Eliezer Mayenda's opener cancelled out by Evanilson. Daniel Farke's side are in better form, the defeat to City just their third in 17 games in all competitions."
"There was a major blow for Sunderland with the news goalkeeper Robin Roefs is unavailable. The Dutchman has been one of the Wearsiders' star performers following his summer move from NEC Nijmegen. Melker Ellborg, who joined from Malmo in the January window, will make his debut. Sunderland have several other injuries to contend with with Reinildo, Dennis Cirkin, Jocelin Ta Bi, Nordi Mukiele, Brian Brobbey and Romaine Mundle all sidelined."
Leeds and Sunderland, both promoted from the Championship, face each other tonight at Elland Road in a Premier League clash. Leeds currently sit 15th while Sunderland occupy 12th place, both having built strong campaigns around solid home form. Leeds recently lost to Manchester City despite creating good chances, while Sunderland drew 1-1 at Bournemouth. Daniel Farke's Leeds side are in superior form with only three defeats in their last 17 games across all competitions. Leeds will be without Noah Okafor due to a hamstring injury, while Sunderland face a significant blow with goalkeeper Robin Roefs unavailable, forcing Melker Ellborg to make his debut. Sunderland also have multiple injury concerns affecting their squad depth.
