Wild storm footage from Stadium of Light shared hours before Sunderland vs Leeds United

Storm Boelo has taken all of the headlines as Leeds United prepare to take on Sunderland on Sunday.

The Whites travel north looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League at the Stadium of Light.

Doubts have surrounded the fixture even going ahead, with two storms hitting the United Kingdom within the past 72 hours.

As things stand, Sunderland have confirmed the match is on.

Daniel Farke and his squad will likely have travelled by coach, given serious restrictions in place around the country.

And new footage from the Stadium of Light shows just what is awaiting them in wild conditions up north.

With weather conditions expected to lessen ahead of kick off, there's no signs of that yet.

Given the proximity to the coast, it will be bitterly cold at the Stadium of Light, with sea breeze to multiply the ferocity of the wind.

Sky Sports' Keith Downie has already arrived at the stadium for his coverage of the game, and shared new footage on X.

A simple task such as walking to the ground was made somewhat of a battle in the wild winds.

With sun in place, at least it isn't raining alongside this wind.

Stewards are in place in the background of the video, meaning no message has been relayed to staff that it could be cancelled imminently.

How could storm affect Sunderland vs Leeds?

Those expecting to see nice, pretty football on display on Sunday, may have to drop their expectations.

Leeds and Sunderland can both mix it up, going long to physical forwards, as well as playing nice intricate football, too.

Brian Brobbey should return for the home side, while there is hope Dominic Calvert-Lewin can shake off a foot issue to start for Leeds.

Both will be extremely busy in the final third, competing with their opposing defenders and trying to save long balls in these wild conditions.

It will, of course, be nowhere near as bad on the pitch, with the four stands of the Stadium of Light acting as something of a shield to the wind.

That won't cover the players completely, though, and those high balls could literally end up anywhere.

Leeds won't be using that as an excuse though, as they prepare to go into another battle in the Premier League.
