----------------------------------------------

Sunderland, despite a midweek defeat at Bristol City marred by an early red card, still sit comfortably in the playoff spots. However, their recent form is patchy, with just one point from their last nine league games and a concerning home record, particularly on Easter Monday.

Blackburn, revitalized under Valerien Ismael with back-to-back wins, eye a late playoff push, sitting seven points adrift. Their away form is a worry, but their Easter Monday record, including a stunning 5-1 win at Sunderland last season, offers hope.

While Sunderland need to regain momentum before the playoffs, Blackburn require a minor miracle to break into the top six. Given Sunderland's home struggles and Blackburn's past success in this fixture, another unpredictable encounter could be on the cards.

Prediction: Sunderland 1-1 Blackburn Rovers
