- Sunderland fans can expect a few changes to the side that beat Cardiff when they take on Birmingham this weekend.
- Edouard Michut, Patrick Roberts and Joe Gelhardt are all in line for recalls.
- Luke O'Nien looks set to miss out once again so expect another makeshift back four from Tony Mowbray.
- John Eustace could make one change for the trip to the Stadium of Light with young midfielder Alfie Chang returning to the starting XI.
- Troy Deeney, Gary Gardner and Dion Sanderson are all confirmed absentees for the away side.
