Jamie Vardy scored the game’s only goal in the 13th minute, after Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson had kept out Wout Faes’ header. After a shaky start, Mike Dodds’ side finished on the front foot but couldn’t force an equaliser.
Here's how the game played out:
Sunderland vs Leicester
What to make of those sides
So it's two changes following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Norwich.
Dan Ballard comes back into the side following his two-match suspension, while Chris Rigg is handed his first Championship start.
It looks like Sunderland will go back to a back three as Romaine Mundle and Callum Styles drop to the bench.
Leicester have made four changes following their 2-1 defeat against QPR last weekend, with Conor Coady, Callum Doyle, Yunus Akgun and Jamie Vardy come into the side.
2' How Sunderland have started
It looks like Sunderland have started with a back five with Hume and Hjelde as the wing-backs.
The hosts appear to be deploying a man-to-man marking system out of possession, with O'Nien and Seelt stepping out of the backline to follow Dewsbury-Hall and Akgun.
8' Important touch from Ballard
Leicester almost opened the scoring there after Mavididi broke down the left.
The winger then cut the ball back across goal, with Ballard getting an important touch to knock the cross away from goal.
10' Two big saves from Patterson
Patterson keeps Sunderland level.
Mavididi broke down the left again before cutting the ball back.
Vardy's effort from close range was saved by Patterson, before the Sunderland keeper kept out Agun's follow-up shot.
13' Goal Leicester (Vardy)
Leicester lead.
Dewsbury-Hall's free-kick from the left was met by Faes, whose header was kept out by Patterson.
Vardy then nodded home the follow-up to put Leicester ahead.
0-1.
20' Ekwah crosses cleared
Sunderland managed to win their first corner of the match there but Ekwah's delivery was cleared.
The hosts are starting to string some passes together after seeing little of the ball in the early stages.
