Sunderland’s final day visit to Preston could be one of the most entertaining in years, with the Black Cats potentially one win away from an incredible top six finish in the Championship – and supporters are predicting there could be some surprises in store.
Patrick Roberts’ stunning late equaliser against Watford last week kept Sunderland within touching distance of the play-offs, but two dropped points meant their fate was no longer in their own hands.
It leaves the club needing a win at Preston North End on Monday afternoon and for either Millwall or Coventry to slip up for Sunderland to secure a play-off place. Coventry only need to avoid defeat at Middlesbrough to confirm their place, while Millwall must beat fellow hopefuls Blackburn Rovers to be sure of their qualification.
