Leeds vs Sunderland Prediction
- Leeds were untouchable at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night as first-half goals from Dan James and Manor Solomon set the Whites up for a 4-0 win against Watford.
- Daniel Farke's men are sitting pretty at the top of the Championship standings and are unbeaten in 14 league games, having collected clean sheets in each of their last six.
- Sunderland were in complete control against Championship basement boys Luton on Wednesday night as Enzo Le Fee and Wilson Isidor fired the Black Cats to a 2-0 win.
- The visitors are unbeaten in eight league games, but with the gap to second place sitting at five points and none of the top three dropping points on a regular basis, this will be a make-or-break fixture.
