Sunderland to meet Sheffield United for a place in the Premier League
By STEVE DOUGLAS AP Sports Writer
Sunderland has booked a showdown with Sheffield United for a place in the Premier League.
Dan Ballard bundled in a dramatic goal in stoppage time of extra time to earn Sunderland a 1-1 draw with Coventry and a 3-2 victory on aggregate in the Championship playoff semifinals on Tuesday.
“It’s what dreams are made of, really,” said Ballard, whose mistimed header from a corner went in off the underside of the crossbar. “I can’t remember what happened … It’s some feeling, that.”
Sheffield United had already reached the playoff final at Wembley Stadium by completing a 6-0 aggregate win over Bristol City on Monday.
While Sheffield United is looking to return to the top flight after an absence of just one year, Sunderland hasn’t played in the Premier League since 2017 and has since been the subject of a Netflix series documenting the club’s struggles.
The playoff final is the most lucrative one-off match in world soccer, with Sunderland in line to get an estimated revenue uplift of around 200 million pounds ($260 million) in projected matchday, broadcast and commercial revenue — and much more if the team was to survive the first season back in the top flight.
For Sheffield United, the uplift would be an estimated $180 million as the club is still benefitting from parachute payments from the last time the team was in the Premier League — in the 2023-24 season.
Coventry, managed by Frank Lampard, last played in the Premier League in 2001 and suffered more heartache, having lost to Luton in a penalty shootout in the playoff final in 2023.
Sheffield United and Sunderland finished third and fourth, respectively, at the end of the regular season behind Leeds and Burnley, who secured the two automatic promotion spots.

Ibiza and Dubai trips part of ‘very good’ Liverpool prep for final Premier League games, says Slot
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Arne Slot has been enjoying himself on the Spanish party island of Ibiza this week. Some of his Liverpool players were spotted relaxing in Dubai.
It was back to the day job for the already crowned Premier League champions on Friday, with two matches still to play in their title-winning campaign.
The first is away to Brighton on Monday and Slot said he was happy with the “very good lead-up to our game.”
“It’s quite difficult for a team that has won the league to train so many days in a row if you’ve already won something,” Slot said. “You need to find a balance between days off and preparing very well for the next game.”
The Dutch coach did accept, however, that it is hard to motivate his players for the final weeks of the season after clinching the title.
“I think the honest answer is yes. … I think it’s clear to everyone,” Slot said. “If you would still compete for the Premier League, there would have been a few days off as well but probably we would have gone somewhere else.”
“Keep in mind,” Slot added, “these players never had a few days off during the season because we were in the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League, as well as the Premier League for a long time. So there are teams who maybe had a few days off. We hardly ever had that.”
