It could be a season-defining game between Leeds United and Sunderland on Monday night.
The Championship continues to surprise and it might have one more trick up its sleeve for Monday night’s clash.
Leeds are in a very strong position going into the encounter with the Black Cats, as Daniel Farke’s side can stretch their unbeaten run to 15 if they avoid defeat to Sunderland.
Despite their good form, Sunderland are a bogey team for Farke, so it will not be an easy game by any means.
Gabriel Agbonlahor has now revealed how he thinks this crucial fixture will unfold.

Pascal Struijk could be available for Leeds, as the defender coming back to full fitness is not only a boost for the Sunderland game, but for the rest of the season.
The Whites have the chance to take advantage of Scott Parker’s Burnley dropping points at Preston, as they can increase the gap between the Clarets to seven points.
Agbonlahor has spoken to talkSPORT breakfast with Jeff Stelling (February 17th, 7:36 am) giving his view on how the clash could end.
“Leeds have won 12 of their last 13 at home – Tough game, but it looks like a fortress, Elland Road,” Agbonlahor said.
“The inevitable is a win this evening for Leeds.”
If Leeds win Sunderland bout promotion is right around the corner
With 14 games still left in the Championship, it’s difficult to say this will be a promotion-deciding game. Or is it.
Regis Le Bris said Leeds are a ‘threat’ maybe springing up nerves in a youthful Sunderland camp.
Both sides are in the promotion run-in this season, but Leeds might find their remaining fixtures have been kinder to them.
Of course, the Whites have Sheffield United and West Brom to come after Sunderland in a gruelling couple of weeks for Farke, but from then on out, they only face two of the top half which says a lot.
If they achieve a win on Monday night, and comfortable results in their following two, Leeds fans could begin dreaming…
