Sunderland travel to Southend on Saturday looking to end their campaign with a win.
Jack Ross' side can no longer win automatic promotion from League One following Tuesday evening's 2-1 defeat at Fleetwood.
Instead, the Black Cats will have to settle for a place in the play-offs and will look to rediscover their winning form heading into the end of season showpiece, when they take on Southend in the final game of the season.
They travel to Essex to take on a Shrimpers side who are battling to avoid relegation.
Southend sit outside the relegation zone on goal difference and could well need to pick up some points against the Black Cats to retain their League One status.
