Brenden Aaronson
December 2025
Leeds, sitting 16th, host high-flying Sunderland in a meeting of last season’s promoted pair, needing points to stay clear of relegation trouble after shipping 31 goals, even though their recent head-to-head record offers encouragement with a win and draw last campaign. Aaronson, who started both Championship fixtures against Sunderland, is again expected to play a central creative role, with Leeds tasked to tighten defensively against opponents who concede little but struggle to score, turning the match into a tense balance between resilience and opportunism.
