The Black Cats enjoyed a long-running battle with Pompey throughout the season for second and third place.

However, Sunderland severely ran out of steam in recent weeks while Portsmouth slipped to fourth on the final day of the season.

Both sides will be desperate to claw their way back into the Championship but who will gain the upper hand in the North East?
