Sunderland haven’t exactly been at their best in recent times as they’re without a win in their last four League One fixtures, but form goes out the window in the play-offs.
The Black Cats will welcome Portsmouth to the Stadium of Light later on today in the first leg of their League One play-off semi-final clash.
What’s the News?
THE VERDICT
George Honeyman has been influential in the final third this season, producing eight goals and three assists. Ross will need his creativity in the final third to unlock what could be a sturdy Portsmouth defence.
Meanwhile, Cattermole is enjoying arguably one the best seasons in his football career as he’s been able to produce a number of valuable contributions, as well as playing a big part in the defensive third.
Lastly, Aiden McGeady could have the biggest part to play in what will no doubt be a close tie, with a moment of brilliance from the Irishman possibly proving to be the difference.
