Sunderland face the very real possibility of suffering back-to-back relegations, after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United saw the Black Cats move to within two places of the bottom three.

A late consolation from Jack Rodwell was the hosts’ solitary shot on target and the Blades were good value for win – they are 11/2 from 7s with BetVictor for promotion and 25/1 from 33s to go up as champions.

BetVictor are as big as 12/1 for Sunderland to bounce straight back to the Premier League after last season’s relegation from the top-flight. However, they are the same price to be playing League One football next season and host Nottingham Forest on Tuesday bidding to claim just a second league win of the season; the Black Cats 11/10 favourites, the visitors 11/4 and the draw 12/5.

Selected Championship promotion prices from BetVictor: Wolves Evens; Boro 2/1; Cardiff 9/4; Leeds 3/1; Fulham 7/2; Derby 7/2; Sunderland 12/1.

Middlesbrough fans have plenty to celebrate after Saturday’s excellent 3-0 win at Bolton, as Garry Monk’s side shorten to 5/1 from 6s for the Championship title.

A brace from Britt Assombalonga ensured Boro left the DW Stadium with a much-needed three points, and the £15million man is the new 7/1 from 10s favourite to be the league’s leading scorer this season.

He has netted four goals in his last four games for the club, and can add to that when Boro travel to Aston Villa on Tuesday; 11/2 with BetVictor to break the deadlock at Villa Park and 13/8 to net anytime.

It looks a good opportunity for Boro to seal back-to-back league wins and Garry Monk’s side look too big at 19/10 to leave Villa Park with three points; the hosts 11/8 favourites and the draw 5/2.

The feel-good factor in the North-East was extended by Hartlepool, who completed a hat-trick of National League wins with a 1-0 defeat of Dagenham and Redbridge at Victoria Park.

BetVictor have slashed the odds of Pools returning to the Football League; now 14/1 from 25s and they are 2/1 to complete the four-timer at Wrexham on Tuesday.
