Sunderland play Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday in the Championship before taking on Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light the following week in their last game of the 2023-24 campaign. The Black Cats, who are currently under the stewardship of interim head coach Mike Dodds, lost 1-0 to Millwall at home last time out and have seen their season fizzle out with the play-offs out of reach whilst mathematically safe of the relegation places. Despite Sunderland’s dull end to the season,...
Sunderland’s goalkeeping situation makes for interesting viewing ahead of the summer transfer window. Anthony Patterson has been Sunderland’s deserved number one since midway through the club’s final season in League One after he was brought in to replace Ron-Thorben Hoffmann under Alex Neil. Since then, the North Shields-born stopper has made 104 straight league appearances for the Black Cats. 109 if you include play-off games. Patterson’s successful run in Sunderland’s first-team has prompted...
Viktor Johansson, the former Sheffield United transfer target, is expected to leave Rotherham United this summer, Millers manager Steve Evans has admitted, after their drop from the Championship. The Swedish international is available for a reduced fee, thought to be around £750,000 initially, thanks to a relegation release clause in his contract. Widely regarded as one of the best shot-stoppers in the second tier Johansson is going to be a man in demand this summer, with Leeds United and Stoke...

NATHAN SALT AT OLD TRAFFORD: Manchester United made life hard for themselves but ultimately walked out with a 4-2 victory at Old Trafford from their clash with Sheffield United.
Leeds United's hopes of automatic promotion took a huge blow on Friday night at QPR. It was a performance that failed to inspire and the result leaves Leeds needing results elsewhere to go their way over the next week. It's not over yet, of course, but if Ipswich Town win their two games in hand it will be. The Whites are now at the mercy of the Tractor Boys results and they'll be praying Kieran McKenna's side fall short at Hull City this evening and again against Coventry City on Tuesday...
Newcastle United face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night aiming for their third-straight Premier League win. Here, ahead of that game, we take a look at all the latest stories that have emerged surrounding Newcastle United and beyond: Ally McCoist has urged Newcastle United to keep hold of Alexander Isak this summer. Isak has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season, including 17 in the Premier League, and has one of the best goals-to-minutes ratio across Europe’s top-five...
Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick bemoaned a number of decisions by the officials after his side fell to a 4-3 home defeat against title-chasing Leeds United on Monday night. Two goals from in-form forward Emmanuel Latte Lath and an opener from Isaiah Jones were not enough for Boro as Daniel Farke’s men claimed a crucial three points thanks to a Crysencio Summerville brace and a goal apiece from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto. It was the latter of those goals that proved to be a source...
As Sunderland’s season fizzles out under interim head coach Mike Dodds, speculation has grown regarding the upcoming summer transfer window. Black Cats regulars Jack Clarke and Anthony Patterson have been linked with moves to Premier League clubs - and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, Juan Sartori and Kristjaan Speakman need to decide on a new permanent head coach. But what about incoming transfers? Sunderland have already been linked with several players ahead of the summer window. Here, we take a look at...
Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan hopes to see Ipswich Town promoted to the Premier League - an outcome that would almost certainly mean former club Leeds United missing out. Leeds and Ipswich look set to go head-to-head for the second automatic promotion place, following Leicester City’s commanding 5-0 thumping of Southampton on Tuesday evening. Enzo Maresca’s side need just three points to secure a top-two finish, with that victory virtually condemning the Saints to a play-off place due...
Benjamin Sesko moved to the Bundesliga side last summer from RB Salzburg. The Slovenian forward has admitted to idolising Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a child. Hope is not lost for Arsenal and it's wrong for Oleksandr Zinchenko to be a scapegoat: Listen to the
Leeds United were thumped 4-0 away at QPR on Friday night in a big dent to their automatic promotion hopes from the Championship. The Whites’ defeat has left Ipswich Town in the driving seat and has confirmed Leicester City’s return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Daniel Farke’s side will be hoping for favours from Hull City and Coventry City against the Tractor Boys as they prepare for their final day clash against Southampton at home next weekend. In the meantime, here is a...
