Where is Sunderland expected to place in the Championship table this season?
The Championship promotion race’s business end is quickly approaching, therefore an exciting weekend is in store.
After defeating Middlesbrough 3-1 at home in the middle of the week, Sheffield United solidified their hold on an automatic promotion spot. The Blades will try to take the top spot for at least 48 hours by earning another three points on Saturday when they visit struggling Luton Town. Burnley’s tenth consecutive clean sheet against Luton on Wednesday night demonstrated their defensive organization and discipline. Scott Parker’s team will go to Preston North End this lunchtime in an attempt to exert pressure on the two teams above them in the standings.
The match of the weekend is on Monday night when Leeds United and Sunderland square off at Elland Road in an attempt to build on victories from the middle of the week. The Black Cats defeated Luton 2-0 at home on Wednesday thanks to goals from Wilson Isidor and Enzo Le Fee. Regis Le Bris and his team will now travel to meet the leaders, knowing that a victory might put them within two points of the top two if other results go their way.
However, Leeds, who have only lost three of their 32 league games this season, are leading the division going into the last third of the season. Daniel Farke’s team easily defeated Watford 4-0 on Tuesday thanks to a brace from Daniel James and goals from Manor Solomon and Joel Piroe. They will know they will have a harder time when they play the Black Cats on Monday, capping a hectic weekend throughout the Championship.
