Alex Neil hopes to deliver what Jack Ross couldn't in 2019 as Sunderland contest the League One play-off final against Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday afternoon. Sunderland came out victorious in their semi-final against Sheffield Wednesday after a late Patrick Roberts goal gave them a 2-1 victory on aggregate.
Meanwhile, Wycombe overcame MK Dons, who had only narrowly missed out on automatic promotion. The final is sure to be a clash of styles as Neil likes to play attacking, front-foot football and take the game to the opponents, whilst under Gareth Ainsworth, Wycombe have adopted a defence-first approach and it was a rear-guard action which saw them defeat MK Dons in the semi-final.
As such, Neil may need to be brave with his line-up choice in order to overcome Wycombe's tough defence. Sunderland fans have made their own suggestions for the starting XI for the final, using ChronicleLive's team selector.
