Leeds United v Sunderland stream, TV channel and team news ahead of Championship fixture

Leeds United are set to host Sunderland under the lights at Elland Road.

Daniel Farke’s side suffered their first league defeat of the calendar year at the weekend, losing 2-1 to Coventry City. Defeats for the Whites and Ipswich Town allowed Leicester City to return to the Championship’s summit.

However, there is no time for wound-licking with Leeds now sat outside the top two. A win over the Black Cats would put Leeds back into an automatic promotion slot, although another defeat could put a significant dent in their promotion hopes.
