Leeds United travel to bottom-placed Sunderland on Sunday in a Premier League fixture.
Leeds United travel to the Stadium of Light to face bottom-placed Sunderland on Sunday in a Premier League fixture. The Premier League has confirmed the referee for the match, who made a crucial error in the same fixture last season.
Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has dismissed suggestions that fatigue could be a problem for his side as they juggle Premier League and Europa League commitments. Sunderland travel to Lech Poznań in the Europa League on Thursday night before returning home to host Leeds on Sunday afternoon. Le Bris said: 'I think we still have many young players, so they can repeat and play again, and this is the level we want to play, so fatigue for me is not an excuse.'
Sunderland sit bottom of the Premier League after seven games with just one victory so far. They have injury concerns affecting their squad, with Wilson Isidor and Thomas Meunier remaining sidelined. Midfielder Brian Brobbey trained with the squad on Tuesday and is expected to feature again after making a substitute appearance in the weekend defeat to Bournemouth. Kevin Danso is suspended for the Leeds match after his sending off at the weekend, which forced Sunderland to play the majority of that game with ten men.
