They lead 18th-place Newcastle United by just one point and have a game in hand on them and are three points ahead of 19th-place Norwich City. In addition, Norwich also has a game in hand on Newcastle. However, a Sunderland win over Everton will mean Newcastle and Norwich will be relegated to the second-tier Championship League at the end of the season on May 15th. Sunderland has drawn six of their past nine matches with two wins in 10.
