Sunderland will take on Leicester City in the Championship at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday. Leicester are leading the standings with 78 points from 35 games, three points above second-placed Ipswich Town. Sunderland are currently 10th in the table and will be hoping to climb up the table with more wins in the bag.
Sunderland have lost their last four games in a row and will be desperate to end that run with a positive result at home. However, taking on the league leaders will be a monumental task.
What will help the hosts is the league leaders' recent form which has seen the Foxes pick up just one win in four matches across all competitions.
