Sunderland stand in the relegation zone and they are one of the main candidates for relegation. Norwich have four points more that home side and two matches more, so in the case of two wins Sunderland could move up in the safe zone. They desperately need points in order to avoid relegation, but they will play against one of the main candidates for the title and they know this match won’t be easy for them. Their recent performance is not very poor. In the last seven Premier League matches they lost only once, but in all those matches they have managed to win only one game (1-5-1). Home team will be satisfied with one point and they will do their best in order to stay unebaten against Leicester City. In the first half of the season Sunderland was defeated in Leicester 4-2, but I expect different and tough game this time.

Leicester stand at the top of the table and they still dreaming about winning the title. Yesterday, Arsenal failed to beat West Ham and it’s hard to believe that Arsene Wenger men can get back in the race for the trophy. The difference between Leicester City and Arsenal is now 10 points. On the other side, Spurs have seven points less than current leader, so for visitors on this game is very important to take all three points and make one step forward to achieve an amazing and unbelievable success. Claudio Ranieri has made a fantastic team from very cheap players and they are very close to make the amazing thing. There are only few rounds left until the end of the season, so visitors have to win this game. In the last three rounds Foxes have very difficult schedule and will play in the last three rounds against Manchester United (A), Everton (H) and Chelsea (A). Leicester won the last 4 matches with an identical result 1-0. Their primary goal will be to secure their net and than to try to score.

Sunderland vs Leicester Prediction

Both teams desperately need points and I don’t believe that they will attack from the beginning. I expect that both teams will play very carefully and waiting for their chance. This could be another tough game and not many goals.
