A fourth successive league draw for Sunderland saw them surpassed by Leeds United in top spot on the Championship table by the conclusion of the weekend and they will be looking to reclaim it as they host sixth place West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.
The Black Cats are level on points with the new league leaders but trail by a two goal difference, though it won't just be ahead that Sunderland will need to keep their eyes on - Sheffield United are equally on 32 points with just two goals to make up on the Wear side.
