Leeds United and Sunderland will wrap up round 33 action at Elland Road on Monday. Both teams are eyeing promotion, and a win for either side will tell on their position going forward. Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Leeds United

WDWWW

Leeds United secured a 4-0 win over Watford in their last game, with a brace from Daniel James and goals from Manor Solomon and Joel Piroe being the difference. They are well determined, as they bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Millwall in the FA Cup. The Whites have only lost three league games this season and are superb in their defense, having kept seven clean sheets in their last eight games in the Championship. They sit second on the table with 69 points in 32 games, scoring 66 goals and conceding 19. However, Maximilian Wober and Patrick Bamford are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Sunderland

Sunderland secured a 2-0 win over Luton Town in their last game with goals from Enzo Le Fee and Wilso Isidor. The Black Cats are unbeaten in their last six games but have only won three of their last 10 away matches. However, they are pretty aware that a win for them in this clash will keep their chances of automatic promotion alive. They sit 4th on the table with 62 points in 32 games, scoring 49 goals and conceding 28. However, Romaine Mundle, Jayden Danns, Ajibola Alese, and Niall Huggins are ruled out of this game due to injuries.
