Sunderland and Sheffield United will meet on May 24 to determine the final spot in the Premier League and all the action can be seen on Paramount+. They’ll look to join Leeds United and Burnley in the Premier League next season, but both have had very different roads getting here.

Sheffield United were last in the Premier League in the 2023-24 season, being relegated after conceding a record 104 goals while Sunderland looks to rebound from being relegated in 2017. The Black Cats took a tumble, landing all the way in League One, but now back in the Championship, they’re thriving under young players like Jobe Bellingham and Chris Rigg. 

Despite ending the Championship season in a bit of a rut, Sunderland were able to rebound with an extra time winner from center back Dan Ballard to make the final while Sheffield United put six goals past Bristol City to make their way to the final. Chris Wilder is an experienced manager and much of this Sheffield United core was with the team in the Premier League, which will make it tough sledding for a young Sunderland side in the final but anything can happen once a team makes it to Wembley. The Premier League is calling for someone.

History has already been made in the EFL with Leeds United capturing the Championship title over Burnley on goal difference, but what’s even more astonishing is that both clubs accumulated 100 points. It’s the first time ever that two clubs have accumulated 100 points in the same division. Along with Birmingham City’s centurian season, where they broke a world record for the most points in a season with 111, this is also the most teams ever to accumulate 100 points in the EFL at the same time.

Let’s take a look at how the EFL shook out and the playoff schedules, which can all be seen on Paramount+ :

Lakers’ LeBron James gives Caitlin Clark words of encouragement before Fever’s season opener vs. Sky

Getty Images Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark tipped off her second WNBA season on Saturday and got a shoutout from Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on Instagram. "Good luck and DO YOU per usual this season!!!" the four-time NBA champion wrote. James shared the post, which included three photos of him and Clark, at the same time the Fever were starting off their 2025 campaign with a home game against the Chicago Sky.  While that was a nice gesture toward Clark, this is hardly the first time James has publicly shown support for the Iowa legend. Last year, James compared the immense pressure Clark was experiencing at the start of her rookie season to what he went through early in his career, and also to what his own son, Bronny James, was facing ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft. "Caitlin Clark […]
