"The Prem has served us up two mid-70s FA Cup Finals this weekend. In appreciation, I've dug out my brown suit with the flared pants, wide-collared yellow polyester shirt, and short paisley tie in eye-popping lime green and purple; I've also fired up the fondue fountain and the Bass Ale and Blue Nun are on ice. And they say nostalgia is crack cocaine for old people! I'm 'avin 'oops."
"Hello, merry betwixtmas (sic) and welcome to live, minute-by-minute coverage of Sunderland v Leeds at the Stadium of Light. Nothing sleepy about these giants, who have given the kiss of life to the concept of promotion from the Championship to the Premier League. Sunderland are arguably the team of the season so far and will go fifth fifth! if they win today."
Sunderland face Leeds at the Stadium of Light with high stakes: a Sunderland win could move them into fifth place. Sunderland make one change from the Brighton draw as Dennis Cirkin replaces the injured Dan Ballard, marking Cirkin's Premier League debut. Sunderland are named in a possible 4-2-3-1 with Roefs; Mukiele, Cirkin, Alderete, Geertruida; Hume, Xhaka; Rigg, Le Fee, Adingra; Brobbey. Leeds stick with the XI that beat Crystal Palace and are set up in a 3-3-2-2 with Perri; Rodon, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Gudmundsson; Aaronson, Stach; Calvert-Lewin, Okafor. Tony Harrington is the referee. Leeds bring recent momentum but must prove themselves away from Elland Road in wet, windy conditions.
