The Black Cats are fourth and they boast a 12-point lead on Coventry in fifth, meaning they all-but have their play-off spot for the end of the season secured.

Sunderland, who last played in the Premier League in 2017, have won their last two against Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff City to leave them only eight points off top with 10 games remaining.

Le Bris's men will be hoping to continue their decent form to keep the pressure on Leeds, Sheffield United and Burnley as they all battle for the two automatic promotion spots to the Premier League.

While Sunderland are on the up, Preston are hoping to maintain their distance from the relegation zone.

Paul Heckingbottom's side, who are also looking forward to their FA Cup quarter-final clash against Aston Villa at the end of the month, are 16th and 11 points off the bottom three. However, they're struggling to find form as they're winless in their last five league games.
