Leicester City form

Leicester City faced an unexpected relegation from the Premier League last season. However, with their impressive track record, it was widely predicted that they would be one of the top contenders to win the Championship this year. The team has performed exceptionally well, winning 11 out of their 12 Championship matches. Their only defeat occurred when they played against Hull City at home in September. Since then, under the leadership of Enzo Maresca, Leicester City has achieved a seven-game winning streak, including a 3-1 victory over Swansea City on Saturday. Despite encountering an early setback, they made a remarkable comeback and scored three consecutive goals. The depth of their talent is demonstrated by the fact that players like Patson Daka, Harry Souttar, and Marc Albrighton could not even secure a spot on the bench for the game. Furthermore, Kelechi Iheanacho was not among the starting lineup, highlighting the quality options available to Maresca. While the season is far from over, it is highly likely that Leicester City will emerge as the champions of the Championship. Moreover, they have already positioned themselves favourably for promotion, with an 11-point lead over third-placed Leeds United in the league standings.

Leicester City Predicted Lineup

Hermansen; Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Ndidi, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall; Fatawu, Iheanacho, Mavididi

Sunderland form

Sunderland will be aiming for promotion this season after narrowly missing out last year. They finished sixth in the table and lost to Luton Town in the playoffs. Currently, they are in sixth place in the division with 19 points, just three points behind Leeds United in third. However, they need to be cautious as they are only three points ahead of Blackburn Rovers, who are in 15th place. Despite their recent losses, Sunderland will be eager to bounce back in their upcoming match. Nonetheless, history is not on their side as they have only managed to beat Leicester once since January 2007, and they were defeated 2-0 by them in their last encounter in the 2016-2017 Premier League season.

Sunderland Predicted Lineup

Patterson; Huggins, Ballard, O'Nien, Hume; Burstow, Ekwah, Bellingham, Clarke; Pritchard, Roberts
