Sunderland are back in action on Tuesday night, and it gets no easier for Tony Mowbray’s men. The Black Cats have lost each of their last two games, coming off second best against Stoke City last time out, and they are now preparing to face leaders Leicester City.
The Foxes have won all of their last seven league games, and they already have an 11-point lead over third-placed Leeds United. Sunderland are holding on to a top six spot, but they face a tricky task in their bid to keep hold of that spot, heading to the East Midlands on Tuesday night. Injuries won’t help them, either, and with that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both sides ahead of this one.
