"So for Pellistri and Elanga, it’s about making the right choice, the right manager, because I think there will be several options. Right now yeah, the game time is limited so a loan option is a good one.

“So it’s important that they make it count when they go on loan and play as much as possible to progress and have a go at starting the following season. They need to have a successful loan like Amad Diallo has been having.”

Ahead of the game, EFL expert David Prutton wrote on his Sky Sports prediction column: "That was a big, and unexpected, win for Sunderland on Sunday. To come off the back of three straight defeats - and that mauling against Stoke - and win at Norwich was some result as we head into the business end of the season.

"Sheffield United will be a bit on edge and need a win here regardless of what Middlesbrough do because that gap has closed big time. With that bit of pressure, they could slip up again. Score draw."
