Leeds have not lost in the league since November, putting together an incredible 14-game unbeaten run (ten wins, four draws). The Whites have won the last three, scoring 13 goals.

Sunderland have been beaten just once in the Championship since November, winning five and drawing three of the last eight. On Wednesday, the Black Cats beat Luton Town 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.
