Play-offs or automatic promotion? Predict Sunderland's League One final three

The League One promotion race took another twist over the Easter weekend, with Sunderland's draw at Peterborough handing the advantage to rivals Barnsley and Portsmouth.

It means the Black Cats need to rely on Barnsley slipping up if they want to claim an automatic promotion place, with a huge game against Portsmouth at the Stadium of Light to come on Saturday.

Pompey know they will overtake Barnsley if they win their remaining three games, meaning this weekend's clash will be a must-win for both sides.

We've updated our predictor tool which allows you to go through the remaining fixtures of the League One promotion candidates and predict the results in each game.

Our tool will then do all the calculations and come up with a completed league table which will tell you whether, in your opinion, Jack Ross and Co will make an automatic return to the Championship next season, or if they will have to get there the hard way through a painstaking play-off process.

Can Sunderland do it? There are just 18 results left to predict.

You can also share your results on social media after you've completed it and encourage your friends and followers to also have a go and compare results.
