Leeds United return to action this evening as they take on Sunderland at Elland Road
Ex-Leeds United man David Prutton expects to see the Whites respond after seeing their 15-game unbeaten run ended by Coventry City on Saturday. The 2-1 defeat at the CBS Arena was Leeds' first in the Championship since December with Joel Piroe's second half not being enough to inspire a comeback against Mark Robins' side. However, more importantly, the result saw Leeds drop out of the top two, with Leicester City leapfrogging the Whites and Ipswich to hit the league summit once more.
As such every game is a must win from hereon in and Prutton expects them to get the job done when they return to action this evening against Sunderland. 'That was a real setback for Leeds at Coventry, but it wasn't hugely unexpected with it being such a tough trip,' Prutton told Sky Sports alongside his prediction of 2-1 to United. 'They need to bounce back quickly, mind. 'But this is a kind fixture as Sunderland are just trying to get through to the end of the season now.
