Sunderland host Leeds at Stadium of Light on Sunday, October 25 (12:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM CT / 9:30 AM PT).
Sunderland will be without the injured Romaine Mundle (knee) and Daniel Ballard and Thomas Meunier (both thigh), while Wilson Isidor is a doubt and Kevin Danso’s involvement remains unclear amid a suspension question. Brian Brobbey leads the home attack with 3 goals from 11 shots, and Enzo Le Fée has created 11 chances from midfield this season. Leeds have their own gaps, with a knee injury ruling out Mateo Joseph and a thigh problem sidelining Joe Rodon, while a lower-back issue makes Daniel James a doubt. Dominic Calvert-Lewin leads the visitors’ line with 4 goals from 14 shots, with Anton Stach supplying 10 created chances in midfield.
