Sunderland vs Blackpool LIVE: Early team news from the Stadium of Light

Hello and welcome to our live blog coverage of Sunderland vs Blackpool.

The Black Cats can book their place in the play-offs tonight with a win, and if other results go their way.

Of course it's still mathematically possible to catch second-placed Peterborough, although the Posh could seal promotion this evening.

Sunderland are looking to end a six-match winless streak and gain revenge over Blackpool for the 1-0 victory at Bloomfield Road just over two weeks ago.

Lee Johnson again has injury issues to contend with, as Dion Sanderson has been ruled out for the rest of the season, joining Jordan Willis and Arbenit Xhemajli on the long-term injury list.

Tom Flanagan and Conor McLaughlin are also ruled out tonight.

James Hunter and Matty Hewitt will bring you al the latest as it happens, with team news, match build-up, all the action and post-game analysis and reaction.
