Sunderland travels to Elland Road tonight, looking to end a tough March and achieve their first away win in the Premier League since October.
The Black Cats are struggling, having secured only four victories in their last 19 matches. Manager Regis Le Bris guided the team to a hard-fought 1–1 draw against Bournemouth on Saturday. Now, they face a tough challenge in West Yorkshire, where they haven’t won in their last three visits. Sunderland is also without a win in their last 17 Premier League matches played in March, a streak that stretches back to 2012.
Sunderland team news
The squad is hit hard by long-term injuries to key players. Romaine Mundle is out for at least six weeks after surgery, while Jocelin Ta Bi remains unavailable. The return of captain Granit Xhaka to the starting lineup on Saturday brings essential leadership to the midfield. Sunderland has notably struggled on Tuesday nights, scoring just one goal in their last nine midweek Premier League games.
Robin Roefs will take the goalkeeping position, with a defensive line likely to include Dan Ballard and Omar Alderete. Trai Hume is set to continue at left-back due to injuries to Dennis Cirkin and Reinildo. In midfield, Xhaka will partner Noah Sadiki, while Enzo Le Fee and Habib Diarra will add creativity. Eliezer Mayenda aims to become the first Sunderland player in a year to score in consecutive league games.
