Sunderland and Portsmouth go head-to-head in the League One play-offs this week
Sunderland take on Portsmouth for the fifth time this season as the League One promotion battlers scramble for a place at Wembley.
The Black Cats were defeated by Pompey in the Checkatrade Trophy final at the national stadium in March.
However, Sunderland hold a 1-0 lead going into the second leg of the play-off semi-finals following a thunderous volley from Chris Maguire at the Stadium of Light.
The tie is far from over but Portsmouth will need to dig deep in front of a sell-out crowd at Fratton Park.
