Sunderland, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sunderland players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Norwich City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Norwich City, who had 16 shots on goal with 4 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Mike Dodds will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Leicester City, Recent FormAny Leicester City pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 home defeat by Queens Park Rangers. They achieved 74% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Queens Park Rangers' tally of 3 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 19 games in a row.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Leicester recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games. They've shown great form away from home this season, winning 12 of their 17 league games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Leicester City, Jamie Vardy will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Sunderland, losing 1-0 to Leicester City.
The Sunderland defence has struggled against The Foxes in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Sunderland have failed to score a single goal against The Foxes.
Sunderland has lost the last 2 times they've faced Leicester in the league.
Leicester player Jamie Vardy will be feeling confident about recording goals against Sunderland ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Sunderland manager Mike Dodds has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ajibola Alese (Leg), Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (Hamstring), Jack Clarke (Ankle), Bradley Dack (Hamstring), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Niall Huggins (Knee surgery), Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament) and Patrick Roberts (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Wilfred Ndidi (Leg) and Jamie Vardy (Knock) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Enzo Maresca will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
