Leeds United Faces Sunderland Amid Promotion Battle Concerns

Leeds United is gearing up for a crucial match against Sunderland after losing the top spot in the Championship to Sheffield United, who have secured back-to-back victories. Manager Daniel Farke faces challenges, as Sunderland has historically been a difficult opponent for him, with Farke yet to win against them in previous encounters. Leeds is in a strong position, having not lost in the Championship since November and boasting an impressive goal difference. The team will be missing key players, including Patrick Bamford and Max Wober, but Farke remains optimistic about their overall squad depth. Leeds must win to regain the lead in the promotion race, as they currently sit just behind Sheffield United. A victory against Sunderland is critical for maintaining momentum as the season progresses.
