Leeds United will face Sunderland in a Premier League match at Elland Road on Tuesday night. Sunderland has recently ended a three-match losing streak in the league with a win against Bournemouth. A victory in this game would help them reach their target of 40 points for the season. Leeds has drawn two and lost one in their last three matches, and a win tonight would help alleviate concerns about relegation.

Coach Daniel Farke is hopeful that James Justin and Joe Rodon will be available for selection despite some injury concerns. Regarding Rodon, he mentioned, “He had some issues with his hamstring. Initially, it wasn’t clear if it was just cramp or a slight injury. We’ve assessed him, and it seems he should be okay for tomorrow.”
Farke added, “Justin had a serious cut after the last match but is a tough player. I hope he will be fit too.” Currently, the only player confirmed out for Leeds is Noah Okafor, who has a hamstring injury.
