The Black Cats head into Sunday's televised game following a 1-1 draw against Polish side Lech Poznań in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

Timur Tutierov scored his first senior goal for the Club, helping Régis Le Bris’ side maintain their unbeaten start to the European campaign.

Attention now turns back to domestic action, with Sunderland looking to build on their European performances and secure a positive result in front of their home supporters.

With the Premier League campaign continuing to gather pace, the Black Cats will be determined to make home advantage count and lift themselves off the foot of the table against a Leeds side who have made an encouraging start to the season.
