Sunderland welcome Leeds United to the Stadium of Light on Sunday with both teams in solid form of late.
Heading into the clash, the Black Cats currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, just two points outside the top four.
A few weeks ago, Leeds looked as though they might be candidates for relegation. Recent form has been superb as the club are unbeaten across their previous four matches.
Home advantage could prove to be the decisive factor on Sunday afternoon and it will give Sunderland a perfect chance to seal another three points.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin joined Leeds in the summer with plenty to prove after an injury hit few seasons and it looks as though he is back to his best.
After scoring against Manchester City at the end of November, the Englishman has gone on to score in his subsequent four matches, culminating in a brace against Palace last weekend.
There is no doubt having someone of his quality will prove crucial in Leeds’ survival hopes and he could extend his scoring streak against Sunderland.
Sunderland have won just one of their previous six matches against Leeds dating back to 2017. Home advantage should be the decisive factor in this intriguing tie on Sunday afternoon.
