Leeds Utd v Sunderland Matchday Thread

With all the unrest about star striker Chris Wood it's a trip up the road to visit old boss Simon Grayson's new team at the Stadium of Light for the Travelling Faithfull, Tough Game ? , I think it will be .


Venue ..Stadium of Light...Date..19 August..Kick Off ..17:30 hrs.

Team News
Leeds Utd
No new injury problems for TC, Liam Cooper is hopeful of returning for Leeds after missing Tuesday's draw with Fulham following a knock in training.
Fellow defenders Matthew Pennington and Gaetano Berardi remain sidelined. Will Woody start and if he does will he turn up ? (unfair on the lad I know, but his last games have left a bit to be desired )

Sunderland
Costa Rica left-back Bryan Oviedo and midfielder Jack Rodwell could feature in Simon Grayson's Sunderland side for the first time against Leeds.
Grayson has so far kept faith with the same starting XI for each of their three Championship games - and collected five points from a possible nine.

Match facts
◾Sunderland have won three of their past four matches against Leeds in league competition (L1).
◾Leeds have won seven of their last nine league trips to Sunderland, losing the other two.
◾Bob Stokoe was in charge of Sunderland and Billy Bremner in charge of Leeds the last time these sides played out a draw in the league, doing so in April 1987. In 20 meetings since, Sunderland have won six and Leeds have won 14.
◾Leeds have drawn their past two league games 0-0, they last recorded three goalless draws in a row back in December 1996.
◾The Black Cats have recorded a lower share of possession in the opening three matchdays than any other Championship side (36.4%).
◾Leeds have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 17 away league matches, they last went on a longer run without an away shutout in February 2013 (19 games).


That's it then.............I reckon this might be a hard one to call but we've got to start finding the net in League games so why not this week, ................ 2-3 Scoreline with Saiz, getting 2 and Wood taking one of his chances (if he plays )

Most impressive was the way the players battled for each other. This team will get better and better.
Clinical away performance. Well chuffed!

One word: Impressive.

Great stuff. Anita had a few shaky moments early on, but apart from that the defence was great. Some terrific movement up front.

Saiz MOM for me... great feet, great footballing brain. Looks class. Alioski is going to excite and frustrate but the lad puts a shift in.

Sean Dyche will have given Radz over £25 mil if this goes thru
