Leicester City are still the best team in the Championship despite three defeats in a row and we believe they will show just how good they are against Sunderland. The likes of Dewsbury-Hall, Fatawu, Winks and Mavididi are players who could easily be playing in the Premier League.
Sunderland vs Leicester City: What the Fans Think
This Sunderland fan calls on the owners to get a new manager appointed
Massive concerns if the results keep coming like this , we'll be stuck with a coaching set up that A) the fans lose faith in and B) the players do too . I think they need to appoint someone real soon before this gets a whole lot worse if that's even possible .

This Leicester fan is confident that his side can turn it around after three defeats
We need a change here. Enzo will deliver
All the fans demanding a sacking after 3 losses when we're in the FA cup quarter final give your head a wobble. It's clear there's something not working but we have time to fix it. I'm sure the squad are aware. We can bounce back 💪
