By Lucas Pereira, FootballPredictions.NET, 16:29 04/03/2024

Leicester City arrive at Stadium of Light on Tuesday for their Championship tie with Sunderland, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.

Sunderland will be wanting a better result here after the 1-0 Championship defeat last time out to Norwich City. It’s our opinion that The Black Cats should use the 4-4-2 system for this game and select Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Jenson Seelt, Luke O'Nien, Leo Fuhr Hjelde, Callum Styles, Pierre Ekwah, Dan Neil, Romaine Mundle, Jobe Bellingham and Nazariy Rusyn.

Corry Evans, Elliot Embleton and Niall Huggins aren’t available for Sunderland gaffer Mike Dodds.

Possible Sunderland team to take on Leicester City

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Queens Park Rangers in Championship action, Leicester City will be aiming to make amends here. From our viewpoint, The Foxes could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Mads Hermansen, Hamza Choudhury, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, James Justin, Harry Winks, K. Dewsbury-Hall, Issahaku Fatawu, Yunus Akgün, Stephy Mavididi and Patson Daka.

Out of a mainly available squad, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca to be concerned about. Wilfred Ndidi (unknown injury) won’t be in action.
