Match Facts
Sunderland have lost four of their last five league meetings with Leicester City (W1), more defeats than they suffered across their previous 15 matches against the Foxes (W5 D7 L3).
Leicester City will travel to the Stadium of Light for the first time since December 2016 when they lost 2-1 as the reigning Premier League champions; overall the Foxes have won just one of their last nine away league games against the Black Cats (D4 L4).
Sunderland’s last league game at the Stadium of Light – a 2-1 defeat to Swansea – was their seventh home loss in the Championship this season, as many as they suffered in the entirety of last season.
Leicester are looking to avoid losing successive Championship away games for the first time since December 2013 – indeed, after losing just one of their first 13 away league games this season (W10 D2), the Foxes have lost two of their last four (W2).
Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored four goals in his last five league appearances against Sunderland, netting a brace at the Stadium of Light in April 2016.
