After a disappointing end to February that saw Michael Beale's tenure as manager cut short, Sunderland has continued to struggle in March, making it difficult to secure a top-six finish. Interim head coach Mike Dodds has failed to improve the team's performance, resulting in a recent loss to Norwich City. Despite a history of success at Carrow Road, Sunderland was unable to come back after conceding a late goal and now sits in 10th place in the standings. With a poor home record this season, Dodds will be looking to turn things around in their next match against Leicester City.
Sunderland Predicted Lineup
Patterson; Hume, Seelt, O'Nien, Hjelde; Styles, Ekwah, Neil, Mundle; Bellingham, Semedo
Leicester City form
Leicester will be making their first trip to the Stadium of Light since December 2016, where they lost 2-1 as the reigning Premier League champions. They have only won one of their last nine league matches on Wearside, leading to concerns about a similar outcome this time. Enzo Maresca's team, which had been performing well, has suffered three defeats since the middle of last month. Despite a strong start to the season with 10 wins in their first 13 away games, Leicester has lost two of their last four matches. The unexpected defeat to Queens Park Rangers at home over the weekend added to their recent struggles. After securing a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals by beating Bournemouth in extra time, Leicester fell short against a QPR team fighting relegation. Even though Leicester had more possession and shots, they only managed one goal in a frustrating 2-1 loss. This defeat has narrowed their lead in the race for automatic promotion.
Leicester City Predicted Lineup
Hermansen; Choudhury, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Winks, Dewsbury-Hall; Fatawu, Akgun, Mavididi; Daka
