David Prutton expects Sunderland to build on their victory over Norwich City by earning a point when Sheffield United visit the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night.
Sunderland had suffered three defeats on the spin prior to their trip to Carrow Road, including a humiliating 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Stoke City, who are managed by former Black Cats boss Alex Neil.
Abdoullah Ba's 15th minute goal proved decisive as Sunderland kept up the pressure on those in the play-off places. Sheffield United have lost four of their last six games, and have allowed Middlesbrough to close the gap behind the automatic promotion places.
