Sunderland’s promotion fate is in their own hands with just eight games left in the third-tier this season.

A superb March has been followed by a good start to April.

The Black Cats winning against Oxford United on Good Friday and drew against Peterborough United on Easter Monday.

That leaves Sunderland two points behind second-place Posh but with a game in hand on Darren Ferguson’s side.

The Black Cats also have two games in hand on first-place Hull City but with a fixture to play against Grant McCann’s outfit.

A spot in the Championship remains the target for Lee Johnson and his team.
