There is no difference, I think. Sunderland could have chosen to inform the league that they were unable to fulfil the fixture, but this would have resulted in an investigation by the EFL. Pompey have informed the EFL that we can't fulfil certain fixtures and this will be investigated. Sunderland were hoping that the EFL would give them permission to cancel the match.
Hopefully the EFL will agree that Pompey have done the right thing in the circumstances.
