Leeds United have the chance to deal a significant blow to Sunderland’s hopes of catching them in the race for automatic promotion when the two sides meet at Elland Road on Monday.

Streaming information

The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Football in the United Kingdom, with coverage starting at 7pm. You can also visit our Leeds v Sunderland live stream page for more information regarding TV coverage.

Leeds sit second in the table with 69 points, holding one of the two automatic promotion spots, while Sunderland are seven points adrift in fourth place.

The Black Cats head into the game on the back of a 2-0 win over Luton Town on February 12.

Leeds come off a dominant 4-0 win against Watford last Tuesday, in which they restricted the Hornets to just two shots on target, while creating four big chances and 16 attempts from inside the box.

Although they failed to score in their previous match against Millwall on February 8, Leeds have found the net 13 times in their last four games. With 66 goals scored in the Championship this season, they have netted at least 15 more than any other team in the division.

Farke’s side has also been strong defensively, keeping seven clean sheets in their last eight matches.

Leeds are on track to finish the season with 99 points, a total that would be the joint seventh-highest in Championship history.

Heading into Monday’s clash, Leeds’ form has been impressive, with 11 wins in their last 16 matches and only one defeat during that run.

At home, the Lilywhites remain unbeaten in 13 Championship games, winning 12 and drawing one, with their last three victories coming by a combined score of 12-0.

How to watch the Leeds united versus Sunderland game from Elland Road, with live streaming information and TV channel broadcast listing news.

A crucial Championship showdown unfolds on Monday as promotion contenders Leeds United and Sunderland go head-to-head at Elland Road.

Leeds, currently leading the table, hold a seven point advantage over fourth-placed Sunderland, who are striving to close the gap in the battle for automatic promotion.

The hosts have surged to the summit with a remarkable 14-game unbeaten run, capped off by a dominant 4-0 victory over Watford on Tuesday, their sixth consecutive league clean sheet.

A victory for Leeds would not only strengthen their grip on top spot but also open up an eight-point gap over third-placed Burnley with 13 games remaining in the season.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are yet to lose a league match in 2025 and will be determined to close the gap on the automatic promotion places.

What TV Channel is the game on?

Leeds vs Sunderland will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event. Live streaming will also be available via the Sky Sports app, though subscription fees may apply.

When is the match on TV?

The match takes place at Elland Road in Leeds on Monday, 17th February, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 GMT.

Sunderland are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Leeds, although three of those matches have ended in draws.

Leeds have managed just one win in their last eight encounters with the Black Cats, and six of the previous seven clashes have produced very little goal mouth action.

Brentford host Championship rock-bottom dwellers Plymouth Argyle to play out the third-round tie of the F.A. Cup.

After failing to register a single win in each of their last five matches across all competitions, Brentford returned to winning ways with a victory over Premier League strugglers Southampton. A dominant 5-0 success saw The Bees regain some momentum in their race to finish in the top half of the pile.

Thomas Frank’s men are six points away from a European place in the league standings and a favourable run of results from their upcoming games could possibly send them in firm contention to dislodge one of the favourites to qualify for Europe.

Bryan Mbeumo has been Brentford’s best attacker this season as his brace against The Saints increased his goal tally to tally. Currently, the number is tied with Alexander Isak’s goal count and bettered by Erling Haaland (16) and Mohamed Salah (18).

Meanwhile, Plymouth Argyle enter this contest sitting in the basement of the Championship table with just four wins out of 25 matches this season.

The Pilgrims are winless in their last 11 matches as they last registered a victory in November when they beat Portsmouth in a 1-0 affair. Plymouth has parted ways with Wayne Rooney and are still looking for a new manager to take the reins of the club.

Plymouth have little hopes of survival this season but they will be raring to go against Brentford this weekend to secure a place in the fourth round of the tournament.

Leicester v QPR Live Streaming, TV Channel

You can watch Friday night’s Leicester vs QPR FA Cup match live on the BBC Red Button or through Bet365.

For online viewers not able to get to the King Power Stadium in Leicester, the match will also be available to stream via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website for UK viewers.

Leicester City have failed to impress this season and they have presented themselves as one of the sides set for relegation.

While they dominated proceedings last season in the Championship and got promoted to the Premier League, they have just managed 14 points from 20 matches this term and find themselves in 19th place in the league standings.

The Foxes last lifted the F.A. Cup in the 2020-21 season and have boasted a strong record in the competition. In fact, they reached the quarter-finals stage of the tournament last time, but Chelsea routed their run in a 4-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

It poses to be a nervy matchup for Leicester as they do not have the momentum on their side but will be focused to emerging victorious.

Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Luton Town. Michael Frey and Morgan Fox were the scorers for the West London club, and Mark McGuinness stood out for his only goal for The Hatters.

QPR sit 13th in the Championship standings as they hold 32 points from 26 games. However, the early part of the campaign did not go according to their plan as they could manage just one victory from their first 16 outings.

Marti Cifuentes’ men have returned to form in recent weeks and are aiming for a late playoff place charge but they would welcome a strong cup run too and they are expected to be out in full force this weekend.

Team News

Leicester City will be without the services of Abdul Fatawu, Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira, Victor Kristiansen, Kasey McAteer and Mads Hermansen for the match.

As for QPR, they will miss the likes of Karamoko Dembélé, Lucas Andersen, Liam Morrison, Steve Cook and Zan Celar through injuries.
