We said: Sunderland 1-0 Preston North End

Preston's praiseworthy home form has not translated into consistency on the road, and Heckingbottom's men have far less to play for in the Championship than their promotion-chasing hosts. That is not to say that the visitors will lift their foot off the gas, but avoiding more injuries before the FA Cup quarters will be of paramount importance, and Sunderland possess more game-changing attackers capable of producing that one moment of brilliance needed for victory.
