Sunderland kept themselves within touching distance of the promotion play-off places last Friday after a 0-0 draw with league leaders Burnley at Turf Moor.
The Black Cats are now on 54 points after 39 fixtures and that leaves them 12th in the league table but only seven points behind Blackburn Rovers and Millwall in sixth and fifth place after the weekend’s results.
