What channel is Sunderland v Lincoln League One play-off semi-final match on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Check out how to watch Sunderland v Lincoln in the League One play-off semi-finals second leg live on TV and online.
Sunderland are on the brink of a fourth consecutive season in League One – as well as losing a large chunk of their squad for free this summer – ahead of their play-off semi-final second leg with Lincoln this weekend.
The Black Cats were defeated 2-0 by the Imps during midweek as Lee Johnson's men fell way short of expectations during the biggest game of the campaign so far.
The result means the one-time Premier League mainstays need to produce a huge performance or risk losing key players such as 30-goal top scorer Charlie Wyke and top creator Aiden McGeady in the weeks to come.
Around 10,000 Sunderland fans have snapped up tickets for the showdown with blind hope that their side will respond to the inevitably raucous atmosphere and turn the tie around.
Lincoln know they just need to dig deep and frustrate their opponents to secure a place in the play-off final next weekend.

Our prediction: Sunderland v Lincoln
There's an air of 'first goal wins' about this one. If Sunderland get off to a fast start, respond to the crowd and play with the ability we know they have, momentum would shift in their favour.
The trouble is, Sunderland limped into the play-offs in sub-standard form and Lincoln will do everything in their power to run down the clock, get in their opponents' faces and make the game an ugly spectacle. And so they should.
In full flow, Sunderland have enough to win the battle, but they're coming in at a severe disadvantage. They've left themselves with a mountain to climb, and Lincoln should finish off the job on aggregate here.
Our prediction: Sunderland 2-1 Lincoln (8/1 at bet365)
