Sunderland and Leeds United meet in the Premier League tonight, with the hosts bottom of the table and needing points to escape the danger zone, while the visitors sit in the upper half and want to climb another step. Both teams played in European competition in midweek, so this is a game that will be decided by freshness and defensive discipline. Sunderland have lost several league games in a row, but in Europe they held on for a 1-1 draw in their latest match. Although they concede a lot in the league, their attack still has moments to threaten from set pieces and counter-attacks. Leeds United are unbeaten in the league in their last two matches, but they also find wins hard to come by, drawing 1-1 in their most recent league game and before that losing 1-2 to an opponent who pressed better. Leeds United's defence still has gaps to exploit, especially late in games. This game is likely to be a trade of punches with neither side daring to open up fully. Sunderland at home will sit deep and wait for counter-attacking moments, while Leeds United will dominate the ball and try to break down the defence with wide play. If the hosts can hold out until the late stages, there is a high chance the game ends closely contested and the hosts take points.
