Sunderland vs Leeds: Premier League preview
Sunderland's huge win over Newcastle was followed up with a spirited point against Brighton last weekend, as the Mackems look to cope without a huge contingent of AFCON players.
Chemsdine Talbi (Morocco), Noah Sadiki and Arthur Masuaku (DR Congo), Bertrand Traoré (Burkina Faso), Reinildo Mandava (Mozambique) and Habib Diarra (Senegal) are all currently away at the tournament, with Regis Le Bris forced to rehash his side somewhat.
It's Leeds next up, with Daniel Farke's men having stormed to win the Championship last season, as the two sides battled it out home and away in England's second tier.
Leeds were in brilliant form as they beat Crystal Palace 4-1 to climb up to 16th in the standings.
Six points now stand between the Whites and the bottom four, something that will best please Farke and his side heading into a busy festive period.
Former Everton manager Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues to bang in the goals, finding the net twice against the Eagles.
He's now up to 7 for the season when Elland Road really need a hero to step up.
