The Black Cats took the lead in their trio of most recent fixtures but drew two and lost one to secure the top two places for Luton and Barnsley.

Manager Jack Ross is now under pressure to steer his side back to the Championship via the dreaded play-offs.

Sunderland could finish third, fourth or fifth depending on results this weekend, with the current league table suggesting they will face a two-leg tie with Charlton.

While the results won’t drastically alter Sunderland’s position, Southend have it all to play for.

The Shrimpers sit one place above the relegation zone, but five teams could still finish in three of the four drop-zone places.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says...

The wind has very much left the sails of the good ship Sunderland.

They can still be pleased with their points total for the season considering the omnishambles their new owners and manager inherited before the 2018/19 season started.

Regardless of the past, this present squad should have won at least one of their previous few games, and Southend could leave a bitter taste in Sunderland mouths.

Prediction: Southend 1-1 Sunderland
