Cambridge United play their final road match of the EFL League One season as they travel to the Stadium of Light to face promotion-chasing Sunderland.

The U's are looking for a fourth successive win on the road as they aim to finish in the top of the table in what has been a wildly successful return to the third tier.

For the Black Cats, they are level with Wycombe for the final play-off spot with three matches remaining in their quest to escape League One, where they have resided for four years.

Previous meetings

In November, Sunderland came away with three points on the road courtesy of a Nathan Broadhead strike to seal a 2-1 victory.

On 15 minutes, the visitors were in front when a corner by Pritchard fooled everyone and went in off the far post, Dimitar Mitov credited with an own goal.

Cambridge leveled 12 minutes later as Sam Smith finished off a neat move with a low shot that beat Hoffman at his near post.

The Black Cats found a winner as Broadhead swiveled before he fired into the top corner from outside the box, leaving Mitov with no chance.
