'Data experts' deliver play-off verdict as Sunderland, MK Dons, Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday and Wycombe set for tense battle

Alex Neil’s side will finish in the League One play-off places if they beat Morecambe on the final day of the season.

Sunderland salvaged a point during a 1-1 draw with Rotherham at the Stadium of Light, moving the Black Cats onto 81 points.

The Wearsiders have dropped a place in the table to fifth, though, after Sheffield Wednesday came from behind to win 3-2 at Fleetwood.
