Sunderland's vital Premier League clash with Everton on Wednesday night will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Sam Allardyce's side put themselves in position to salvage their top-flight status on Saturday with a 3-2 win over Chelsea, and victory over Everton would make survival certain.

The game will be shown on Sky Sports 1 from 7.00pm, with kick-off at the Stadium of Light 45 minutes later.

They have a single-point advantage on local rivals Newcastle (35 to 34), but the Everton match is their game in hand, and a win would relegate Rafa Benitez's side to the Sky Bet Championship.

Norwich (31 points) are also in action on Wednesday night, at home to Watford, but their 1-0 home defeat by Manchester United means they need a win and Everton to get a result at Sunderland to have any chance of survival.
