Prediction

  • Sunderland failed to produce a response to James Justin's first-half goal on Tuesday night as they slipped to a 1-0 away defeat against a Leicester side who have won 12 of their 13 league games this season.
  • Saturday's hosts have now suffered three straight league defeats, but performance levels remain acceptable.
  • An injury-time consolation goal from Jon Rowe did little to improve the mood at Carrow Road in midweek as the Canaries suffered a comprehensive home defeat to Middlesbrough.
  • David Wagner is now coming under pressure with the away side having lost six of their last nine Championship fixtures.
