Sunderland take on Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Monday night in the second leg of their play-off semi-final. The game kicks-off at 7.45pm and the Black Cats will take a slender one-goal advantage to South Yorkshire following Friday's win at the Stadium of Light.
Ross Stewart scored the only goal of the game, exploiting a mistake by Sam Hutchinson in first-half stoppage time, and that gives Alex Neil's side the edge going into the second leg. Sunderland have now gone 14 games unbeaten, and if they can extend that run they will make it through to the final at Wembley later this month.
The winners of Monday's game will face either Wycombe or MK Dons in the final, with the Chairboys taking a 2-0 lead into the second leg of that semi-final on Sunday evening. Sunderland finished the season in fifth place in the table, one point and one place behind the Owls.

The Black Cats lost 3-0 at Hillsborough in the league back in November, with Theo Corbeanu, Florian Kamberi, and Lee Gregory on the scoresheet. But they avenged that defeat - with interest - on Wearside at the end of December, when they won 5-0 with Stewart grabbing a hat-trick, and Callum Doyle and Benji Kimpioka also on target.
