Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has delivered his score prediction ahead of Leicester City’s clash with Sunderland tonight.
Enzo Maresca’s side will be looking to make it 12 wins out of 13 in the Championship this season – a feat that has never been achieved before.
Meanwhile, Tony Mowbray’s Sunderland will be looking to return to winning ways after falling to a 2-1 defeat against Sunderland on Saturday.
Both sides have strong ambitions for this season, with the Foxes surpassing any pre-season expectations.
David Prutton makes Leicester score prediction
In his latest column for Sky Sports, David Prutton has predicted a convincing win for the Foxes.
“I don’t think I’ve ever said this in October before, but it really is probably just a case of when, not if, Leicester get promoted.
“Even an injury crisis may not hurt them too much, because they just have so much quality throughout their squad.
“Sunderland have lost two in a row, and this is not where they would want to go to try and bounce back.
“Leicester are brilliant and relentless, and an attacking away side should play into their hands. Foxes win.”
Prediction: Leicester City 3-1 Sunderland
A great chance to extend their lead
Tonight is a great chance for Enzo Maresca’s side to pull further clear of third place Leeds United.
With Daniel Farke’s side not playing until tomorrow night, a victory at the King Power Stadium would see the Foxes move 14 points clear of any other promotion challengers.
A gap of that distance is unheard of for this time in the campaign, highlighting the impeccable job done by the Italian so far this season.
