Leeds Are Draw Specialists
Leeds have drawn 10 Premier League matches this season, the joint most of any team in the division. The Whites are in decent long-term form and are undefeated in seven of their last nine in all competitions.
Daniel Farke’s team were unbeaten in four, starting with a 3-1 home win over Nottingham Forest. Three consecutive draws followed against Chelsea 2-2, Birmingham 1-1 and Aston Villa 1-1.
The Whites’ unbeaten streak ended with a narrow 1-0 home loss against Man City. Leeds had 1.49 XG, 14 shots, and conceded the winner in first-half injury time.
Sunderland in Patchy Form
Regis Le Bris’ Sunderland have also drawn 10 Premier League games in the 2025/26 campaign. The Wearside outfit are comfortably in mid-table after going unbeaten in 19 of 27 league matches this season.
Sunderland were pushing for Europe before a recent drop off in form. The Black Cats lost three on the spin at Arsenal 1-0 and at home against Liverpool 1-0 and Fulham 3-1.
Le Bris’ side stopped the slide with a 1-1 stalemate at Bournemouth on Saturday. Eliezer Mayenda opened the scoring after 18 minutes and Sunderland conceded midway through the second period.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Leeds (3-5-1-1): Karl Darlow; Jaka Bijol, James Justin, Pascal Struijk; Jayden Bogle, Ilia Gruev, Ehtan Ampadu, Anton Stach, Gabriel Gudmundsson; Brenden Aaronson; Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Forward Noah Okafor is ruled out until mid-March with a thigh issue.
Joe Rondon came off with an injury against Man City and is doubtful here. Daniel Farke was unsure about the severity of the defender’s injury and said, “I think it's his hamstring. We need to assess him; hopefully, it's not too serious.”
Sunderland (4-2-3-1): Robin Roefs; Lutsharel Geertruida, Dan Ballard, Omar Alderete, Trai Hume; Granit Xhaka, Habib Diarra; Noah Sadiki, Enzo Le Fee, Chemsdine Talbi; Eliezer Mayenda
Defender Nordi Mukiele and attackers Brian Brobbey and Romaine Mundle are unavailable due to injury. Winger Jocelin Ta Bi is also ruled out with an ankle problem.
Dennis Cirkin and Reinildo Mandava are unlikely to return for the Leeds game. Regis Le Bris was cautious over the defensive pair's recent fitness and said, “Dennis is getting better, like Reinildo - the timeline should be around 10 days depending on the last stage of their rehab.”
Verdict
Leeds and Sunderland are in similar Premier League form and both sides draw a lot. The Whites and the Black Cats can cancel each other out at Elland Road and a draw is the best bet.
