Sunderland want the season to be completed as it is the only way they can win promotion this season given they are currently outside the play-offs and would remain so on points-per-game, if that formula was to be used if the season was curtailed.

To pass, it must be supported by a majority of clubs across all three divisions as well as a majority within the Championship.
A final vote is then expected to be held next Monday.
