The Black Cats know they're just one win away from a return to the Premier League, and should they do so, they'll fulfill Kyril Louis-Dreyfus’ plan of a five-year return to the top flight.

It won't be easy, with Sheffield United the favourites heading into the tie given their recent Premier League experience, the wealth that comes with it and squad depth.

In the end, it will come down to who is the better side on the day, but Le Bris knows mindset will play a huge part in the game, reflecting back on his first meeting with the group after becoming manager.
