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.

Bill Belichick isn't exactly known for being chatty.

Giants’ Wilmer Flores tallies 8 RBI on 3 home runs, tying Aaron Judge for MLB lead
Baseball fans might expect Aaron Judge to be the MLB leader in RBI, and he is with 41 so far this season. However, the New York Yankees slugger is currently sharing the top spot with a surprising name.Wilmer Flores drove in eight runs in the San Francisco Giants' 9-1 win over the Athletics on Friday night, hitting three home runs. With that total, Judge has to make some room at the top of RBI mountain for now.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFlores' big night began in the third inning with a grand slam off JP Sears after a 10-pitch battle. Sears put the first three hitters of the inning on base with a single and two walks. He then tried to work Flores on the outside part of the strike zone. But in trying to avoid a third consecutive walk, Sears finally left a fastball […]
