Sunderland vs Sheffield United Team News 

 

Teenage starlet Chris Rigg is facing a spell on the sidelines after missing Sunday's game with a foot injury. Regis Le Bris could make one change to the side that faced Stoke last time out with Patrick Roberts replacing Milan Aleksic. 

 

Harry Souttar's injury has been confirmed as a ruptured Achilles, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2024/25 season. Expect an unchanged starting XI from Chris Wilder following the 1-1 draw against West Brom on Sunday.
