It’s an exciting time to be a Leeds United or Sunderland fan.
Certainly, in the case of the Black Cats, the prospect of Premier League football has felt like a distant proposition for far too long, with the club having spent a considerable stint in the third tier of English football.

Now, with exciting players like Chris Rigg, Enzo Le Fee and Jobe Bellingham in their ranks, led by Regis Le Bris, it looks like it could be there time.
But they’ll need to rank in the top two in the Championship to guarantee their top-tier return, and they have Burnley, Sheffield United and Monday night’s competitors Leeds for company.
Leeds have been in the Premier League more recently and only narrowly missed out last year, so it feels like a matter of time before they return, but players like Joel Piroe (14 Championship goals so far this season) won’t stick around forever if there are offers elsewhere.
With the four frontrunners building beginning to leave the chasing pack behind, it is these games against each other that are likely to decide which two earn automatic promotion. It’s only February, but already there’s plenty on the line.
