Against Leeds United, Sunderland’s lineup, roster, and injury updates were projected, dealing a new blow to the Black Cats.

 

This Friday’s Championship matchup between Sunderland and Leeds United should be exciting for fans of the top six. Sunderland is ranked first in the Championship heading into this match, while Leeds United is ranked fifth.

 

Two of the contenders for promotion this season square off in an intriguing match.

However, Sunderland will enter the next round of games in the best form. In the middle of the week,

Regis Le Bris witnessed his team easily defeat Derby County, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Wilson Isidor and Jobe Bellingham.

Leeds, under Daniel Farke, drew with Norwich City at Carrow Road during the week;

a victory on Friday would tie the Black Cats for first place.

 

Leeds United vs. Sunderland squad and injury updates Ian Poveda appears to be one of Sunderland’s injury concerns,

as he always seems to be.

This season, the former Leeds United player has made three appearances as a substitute in the Championship, including a midweek game against Derby.

However, Poveda, 24, was pulled off the field not long after leaving the bench,

 

and the most recent reports indicate that he could be out for as long as six weeks.
