Bristol Rovers v Sunderland: How to watch Checkatrade Trophy on TV and live stream
Bristol Rovers and Sunderland are one step from a trip to Wembley in the Checkatrade Trophy
Bristol Rovers host Sunderland in the Checkatrade Trophy semi-finals at the Memorial Stadium on Tuesday night.
Jack Ross’ Sunderland side are unbeaten in 15 games across all competitions and have fired themselves back into the League 1 title race after three consecutive wins.
The Black Cats’ last outing at Wembley ended in a 3-1 defeat against Manchester City in the 2014 League Cup final.
A Sunderland victory would set up a final with fellow League 1 high-flyers Portsmouth who beat Bury 3-0 in the other semi-final.
Rovers will prove to be a stern test after they racked up a 4-0 victory over Blackpool – the team who had conceded the fewest goals this season prior to the game – at the weekend.
However, Sunderland have got the better of Graham Coughlan’s side in both league fixtures this season including a 2-0 win in the south west less than a fortnight ago.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says...
Rovers have only lost three times in all competitions since mid-December, though two of those defeats were at the hands of Sunderland.
The Black Cats are likely to field a strong XI with new signing Will Grigg expected to feature.
They have started to put teams to the sword after a frustrating run of draws and should have enough quality to dispatch the resilient Rovers.
Prediction: Bristol Rovers 0-1 Sunderland
