Two games from Wembley, the FA Cup is becoming a realistic aim for Sunderland as we approach a banana skin away tie with Port Vale in the fifth round.

One of the lowest ranked sides left in the competition, they currently prop up the EFL League One table - but do they feel a giant killing in their bones? Or is the league still the priority as they look to clamber to safety in the final months of the campaign. To let us know, Johnny from the Ale and Vale Podcast joins Alex Bilton for a short and snappy preview show.
