Alan Hutton believes that Sunderland are a 'sleeping giant' and says they have a 'good chance' of finishing in the Championship play-offs this season.
Sunderland's back-to-back defeats against Blackburn Rovers and Burnley respectively have seen them plummet into 14th place. Although the Black Cats are just three points clear of the relegation zone, they're also only six points adrift of a Championship play-off slot.
Hutton, who played 11 times for the Black Cats during a loan spell in 2011, admits that it was a blow to lose Alex Neil, but claims supporters will still be expecting a promotion challenge.
