Two Championship sides with promotion ambitions will collide as Leeds United travel to the Stadium of Light to take on managerless Sunderland on Tuesday. Daniel Farke’s side enter the game in excellent form after a run of eight victories from their last 10 Championship matches. The German is targeting a third promotion from this division as a manager and will see this match as the perfect opportunity to pile on pressure on second place Ipswich as the Tractor Boys target back to back promotions. Meanwhile, Sunderland are also aiming to win promotion after last season's near miss in the Championship play-offs. The Black Cats are currently searching for a successor to manager Tony Mowbray but secured an impressive 2-1 victory against West Brom last time out under the guidance of interim boss Mike Dodds.
