Sunderland will look to defend their slender advantage when they host Coventry City in the second leg of their EFL Championship Playoff on Tuesday.
In the first leg, Regis Le Bris' men made the most of Coventry City's errors to secure a tight 2-1 victory through goals from Wilson Isidor and Eliezer Mayenda.
However, Coventry City can still flip the script. Frank Lampard has experience overcoming first-leg losses in Championship Playoffs as seen during his time with Derby County. Moreover, Sunderland's recent form at the Stadium of Light (three wins in 11 games) has been dismal and will give their rivals a glimmer of hope.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Sunderland come into this game without the likes of Ajibola Alese, Ian Poveda, and Romaine Mundle with the trio dealing with injury concerns.

Injured: Alese, Poveda, Mundle
Suspended: None
Norman Bassette and Victor Thorp are the key figures who will be absent for Coventry City against Sunderland as the duo have been ruled out due to injury.
Milan van Ewijk's error led to Sunderland's winning goal, however, he should find himself once again in backline featuring Bobby Thomas, Lay Kitching, and Jay Dasilva.
Coventry City predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Wilson (GK) — Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva — Grimes, Sheaf — Sakamoto, Rudoni, Wright — Thomas-Asante.
