Round 22 of the EFL Championship will conclude with a clash between Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion at the Stadium of Light on Monday.
Sunderland are in 11th place in the league table and have recorded back-to-back wins in their last two games. They played Millwall last Saturday at home and second-half goals from Amad Diallo, Alex Pritchard, and Ellis Simms helped them to a 3-0 win.
West Bromwich Albion have not played a league game in a month and took on Elche in a friendly last week. They suffered a 1-0 defeat in that away game. They are in 22nd place in the league table but have seen an uptick in form as they are on a three-game winning streak in the league. Kyle Bartley and Brandon Thomas-Asante scored in either half as they defeated Stoke City last time around.

The Black Cats have lost two of their last three home games in the Championship and will be looking to leave a good account of themselves in this match.
