Sunderland are preparing for their final Championship match of the season against Sheffield Wednesday – with injury issues for both sides.
The Black Cats have lost their last two matches against Millwall and Watford but will be hoping to finish the campaign on a high in front of their own fans. Wednesday have spent most of this season in the relegation zone, yet Danny Rohl’s side only need a point to secure their Championship status for next season.
