We said: Coventry City 1-1 Sunderland

Very few sides have managed to prevail against Coventry on their own turf in recent weeks, but similarly, Sunderland developed a penchant for away-day performances before being seen off by Rotherham. A close contest should be on the cards between two sides who could still upset the playoff apple cart, and we expect the two top-six hopefuls to cancel each other out and take home a point apiece.
