Recent respective form guides
Sunderland's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Black Cats have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Leicester City is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. Foxes have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.
Sunderland see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 9 points from their 7 games played so far, Leicester City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 7 points from 7 matches.
