This is an important period for every club but with this feels particularly important for Leeds as they look to pull clear of the chasing pack for automatic promotion, with Burnley drawing 0-0 at Preston on Saturday.
Leeds are on an absolute tear at the minute, winning five of their last six in the Championship (the other result a 0-0 draw away at Burnley).
The Black Cats have the youngest squad in the Championship littered with talent, particularly Jobe Bellingham, top scorer Wilson Isidor and Enzo Le Fée.
Tonight’s Championship offering between two-promotion chasing sides, Leeds United and Sunderland is an absolute belter.
This is the first of three tough matches for the Yorkshire club, with Sheffield United (away) a week from today, followed by West Brom at home.
