Last season, Sunderland aimed to at least compete in the playoffs for promotion to the Premier League. However, a series of injuries in the second half of the season prevented the “Black Cats” from finishing in the top six. In the new Championship campaign, Sunderland has started very well and currently sits in first place after eight rounds.
In the eight matches played, the “Black Cats” have only lost twice, securing six victories. They lead their nearest rival, Burnley, by one point. In the most recent round, Sunderland hosted Derby County and secured a 2-0 victory. This win was their third in the last five rounds.
The “Peacocks” fought throughout last season for a direct spot in the Premier League but, after three defeats towards the end, finished only in third place. In the playoffs, Leeds defeated Norwich but fell short against Southampton in the final. Leeds hasn’t had the most successful start to the new season, although they currently sit in fifth place.
In the last round, Leeds played an away match against Norwich, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Prior to that, the “Peacocks” defeated Cardiff away (2-0) and Coventry City at home (3-0). Overall, Leeds has lost only one of the eight matches played. At the moment, they are three points behind the top spot.
