Leicester City VS Sunderland – Match Preview & Prediction

The Black Cats travel down to The King Power Stadium tonight, as they look to put an end to their 2-game losing streak, but they face a Leicester side that currently top the league.

The Foxes are currently 5 points clear at the top of the table, and 11 points clear of third place, as they have won their last 7 league games, and only lost once all season.

Sunderland sit just inside of the play-off places however, if they were beaten, it could see them drop all the way down to 13th, depending on the other midweek fixtures.

Sunderland have lost their last two games, 0-4 against Middlesbrough, and 2-1 against Stoke, so surely they will be extra determined to get a result tonight.

The Black Cats have won just 1 of their last 4 games against The Foxes, coming in a 2-1 home victory back in 2016 in The Premier League.

A good confidence booster for Sunderland is that Jack Clarke was awarded the PFA Player of The Month award yesterday, making it a clean sweep for the league’s top goalscorer.

A win for Sunderland could see them move up to 3rd in the league, but if Leicester were to take all 3 points, it could see them go 8 points clear at the top, already!
