Sunderland host Huddersfield Town at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday (April 18) in the Championship.
The hosts have had mixed results this season but continue to push for a promotion playoff spot. Sunderland picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Birmingham City in their last game. Trai Hume scored the equaliser before Amad Diallo clinched the winner 15 minutes from time. Sunderland are ninth with 61 points.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season but have begun picking up points to avoid the drop. They were, however, beaten 1-0 by Swansea City in their last game and could have no complaints after managing just one shot on target.
The visitors have picked up 43 points from 42 games and are 19th in the standings. They're just one point above the drop zone.
