Leicester City looked shoo-ins for the Championship title a few weeks ago, but Tuesday's trip to Sunderland now seems crucial for their promotion hopes.

Foxes boss Enzo Maresca expressed concern that the pressure could be getting to his players after last Saturday's shock loss to relegation-threatened QPR made it three defeats in a row for the one-time runaway league leaders.

Leicester's buffer to third place has been whittled down to five points, but this trip to the Stadium of Light represents an opportunity to bounce back to winning ways - as Sunderland are in even worse form.

The Black Cats have lost four in a row, and the axeing of flop boss Michael Beale in mid-February has not sparked the turnaround club chiefs were hoping for.

Last Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Norwich City means Sunderland head into the clash with their play-off hopes hanging by a thread, as they sit 10th in the table, nine points off sixth.
