The Black Cats are just one win away from Wembley, with the Gas the only thing standing between the club and a date at the home of football.

Jack Ross' side have already dismissed Notts County, Newcastle United and Manchester City in the knockout stages of the competition, before they were handed a tough visit to the Memorial Stadium in the last four of the competition.
