Leeds United are seeking a first win in four Premier League matches as they make the trip to Sunderland this weekend.

Daniel Farke's men drew 1-1 with Manchester United last time out, with that considered a somewhat disappointing result.

Leeds saw a great opportunity to pick up a first home win over their beleaguered rivals in nearly a quarter of a century pass them by.

That followed on from a 2-1 loss at Arsenal and a 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace, either side of the international break.

Leeds could do with picking up a first win in five weeks on Sunday afternoon, then, against a struggling Sunderland side who sit rock bottom of the division after seven matches.

The contest at the Stadium of Light will be broadcast live on television in the UK, with MOT Leeds News outlining all the key details below.

What time does Sunderland vs Leeds United kick off?

Leeds fans are all too accustomed with seeing their side play outside of the traditional 3pm Saturday slot.

That is no different this weekend as the clash with Sunderland takes place at 4:30pm on Sunday 25, October.

Only twice this season have Leeds kicked off in the traditional time slot, and not at all since the third round of fixtures.

For those not making the trip to the North-East, where a packed away end can be expected as ever, the game will be televised live in the UK.
