Sunderland must not miss this important opportunity! Before they join Sheffield United in the hunt for a place in next season's Premier League, Régis Le Bris's side will have to build on their victory at Coventry City last Friday. Mayenda's late goal gave the Black Cats a 2-1 win and a foot in the final play-off round. Despite struggling on English soil recently with five consecutive defeats prior to the play-offs, the Black and Reds' surge of pride has taken league observers by surprise. After several years of failing to make the step up to the top flight, it's time for Sunderland to finally get some karma on their side! 

Will Coventry succeed in reversing a tricky situation on paper? That's the question surrounding this game, as Frank Lampard's men lost home advantage at the worst possible time. Indeed, if ever there was a game not to lose at home, this was it. The Skyblues have not been performing well away from home for the last two months. With four defeats, a draw and an average of two goals conceded during this run, qualification is likely to be hard to come by on Tuesday evening.
