SHOCKING NEWS;Sunderland vs Leeds United England Championship kick-off time has been rescheduled due to

Leeds United have roared back into contention for the EFL Championship crown with four wins in their last six games but face a test of title mettle with a trip to leaders Sunderland.

The Elland Road giants remain favourites to win the league, with Sunderland still as big as 10/1 with some firms despite their impressive start under new boss Regis Le Bris.

Leeds got off to a poor start, with two draws in the Championship and a 3-0 defeat Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup. The response since then has been impressive though and Tuesday’s draw at Norwich has left them sitting fourth, just three behind the Black Cats.

Sunderland got off to a flier in the league with four successive wins but then hit a bump as they lost two of their next three. The Black Cats stopped that slump with a 2-0 win over Derby in midweek and will now be looking to make a statement of intent against Leeds.

This has the makings of a Friday night cracker and there should be a huge crowd at the Stadium Light to make the atmosphere red-hot.

How the bookies view it: Black Cats a bit overpriced

Leeds United have been favourites for most of their games this season and that hasn’t changed here with Betano pricing them at 23/20. Sunderland look a bit overpriced at 85/40 with home advantage and the draw will popular at 23/10.

Recent head to head: Sunderland bossing it

Sunderland have held the upper hand of late, winning seven of the last 13 meetings and losing just four. The Black Cats won 1-0 at the Stadium of Light when Leeds last came calling then ground out a 0-0 draw at Elland Road.
