Leeds United heads north on Sunday, aiming to continue their positive December run that has helped them move away from the relegation zone.
Currently in 16th place, Daniel Farke’s team comes into the match as one of the top-performing teams outside the top six. After a 4-1 win against Crystal Palace, confidence is high. With top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin in great form, Leeds will hope to be the first team to earn three points at the Stadium of Light this season.
Leeds United Team News
Farke has announced that Sean Longstaff and Daniel James are still sidelined as they recover from injuries. However, striker Lukas Nmecha has a “small chance” to join the squad if he trains well after a hamstring issue. Farke is expected to stick with a consistent lineup that has secured two wins and two draws in their last four games.
The key focus will be on the partnership between Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor in attack. Calvert-Lewin aims to make club history by scoring in six consecutive Premier League matches for the first time. In midfield, Ethan Ampadu will lead alongside Anton Stach and Brenden Aaronson, while Jayden Bogle and Gabriel Guðmundsson will add width from the wing-back roles.
