Preston North End v Sunderland: How to watch, early team and injury news

Sunderland fell short on Saturday as they needed to win to re-overtake Millwall in sixth place. The Black Cats drew 2-2 with Watford after Patrick Roberts’ stunning strike in the 96th minute rescued a point on Wearside.

Tony Mowbray has been holding out hope that Dan Ballard may be able to play some part in the final game of the regular season, but remains confident the 23-year-old would be available if his side did make it into the play-offs.

Fortunately, there are no new squad injuries for the Black Cats, however Mowbray himself may be nursing a hamstring injury himself after celebrating Roberts’ stunning late equaliser on Saturday.

Sunderland are unbeaten in eight games, winning three of their last five as they look towards the final day where they must win and hope results elsewhere fall in their favour if Sunderland want to finish in the play-offs.

Meanwhile, Preston are in poor form as of late winning just one of their last five league matches, a team that could have been battling for the play-offs if recent results had gone their way.
