High-flying Leicester City will try to extend their Championship winning streak to eight games when they face
Sunderland on Tuesday evening. The Foxes appear unstoppable at the moment, and their performance in a 3-1 win against Swansea City must be fueling fans’ anticipation ahead of the midweek match. Jamie Vardy, the experienced striker, could be rested against Sunderland, with Nigerian attacker Kelechi Iheanacho set to fill in.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, are looking to avenge back-to-back defeats to Middlesbrough (0-4) and Stoke City (1-2), but considering their fragile defense, we predict that the league leaders will take all three points. Midfielder Daniel Neil is suspended for one game, while Dennis Cirkin, Jay Matete, Aji Alese, Corry Evans, and Ross Stewart are all still in the hospital. Leicester City defeated Sunderland 2-0 in their most recent meeting at King Power Stadium.
Prediction: 2-1
