Leeds United v Sunderland
Tuesday 9th April@20:00 | Elland Road

Leeds must recover from their post International Break blues as they prepare for the visit of Sunderland on Tuesday evening.

A very average Coventry side destroyed their 14 game unbeaten run at the weekend, leading to calls for Daniel Farke to freshen his team up! The gaffer is in a catch twenty-two situation. Does he make changes to a side who have picked up thirty eight out of a possible forty-five points year to date, or hope they can rediscover their form, and quickly!

The Black Cats have lost seven out of their last ten games, including a 5-1 thrashing at the Stadium of Light against Blackburn. Their slide down the table coincided with an ankle ligament injury to Jack Clarke late February. He returned to action last weekend, a 0-0 draw against Bristol City.

Jenson Seelt (groin), Dennis Cirkin (hamstring), Former Leeds left back Niall Huggins (groin) and Nazariy Rusyn (knock) are all ruled out for the visitors. Leo Hjelde play play against the Whites for the first time since joining Sunderland in January.

Leeds have no fresh injury concerns. Ilia Gruev, Connor Roberts and Wilfred Gnonto all returned to action on Saturday, having picked up knocks whilst representing their respective Countries. Jamie Shackleton, Pascal Struijk and Stuart Dallas remain sidelined!

 

Seems every game is a must win at the moment

 

Rutter needs to regain his form. He’s been poor since that operation

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if it never cured the problem and he is playing with a certain amount of discomfort

 

Would explain a lot

 

What's barndoors excuse!!!

 

If I was writing a book about games with a nailed On Three Points this game would be on the front cover

 

You think you have a chance then

 

Doesn’t need one. Apparently he’s a legend

 

Sunderland bullied us at Roker Park, or the Stadium of ****e, or whatever it's called. I imagine they'll try the same tmrw night. I can see it being another long evening. We're not destroying teams anymore, maybe we've been found out, or maybe it's the fact that every team we play seems to up their game to 100%. Every game is a cup final and eventually it takes its toll. I doubt Farke will change anything, he says now is not the time for experiments (despite Barndoor being so bad recently).

 

He’s not a very good centre forward possibly?

 

Is this on live or on EllTV?

 

Sky red button

 

Main event at 8. Rubbish clubs kicking off at 7.45

 

He's crap

 

Damn. Wanted to go watch in the con club but no red button there. Don’t think it works on Skygo either.

 

Guess they only have "blue" buttons. Maybe you should try the Labour Club instead, they are bound to have a "red" button

 

I’m wrong. It’s sky main event so should be on in pub enjoy

 

Will probably have to have it on the iPad depending on what champions league game is on.

 

Barely a labour voter in Billericay let alone a labour club
