Team News

Sunderland
Sheff Wed
  • Regis Le Bris should revert back to the same starting XI that beat Cardiff following a miserable Carabao Cup defeat to Preston on Tuesday night.
  • Winger Ian Poveda remains a doubt and will likely miss the visit of his former club, while centre-back duo Jenson Seelt and Dan Ballard are also unavailable.
  • Danny Röhl watched on in delight last weekend as his men thrashed Plymouth, so expect an unchanged starting XI from Sunday's visitors.
  • Goalkeeper Ben Hamer remains Sheffield Wednesday's only confirmed absentee for the trip to the Stadium of Light.

Prediction

  • Regis Le Bris' tenure got off to the perfect start last Saturday as goals from Luke O'Nien and Trai Hume helped to seal a deserved 2-0 away win against Cardiff.
  • The Black Cats then followed this up with a lacklustre 2-0 defeat to Preston in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, which has dulled the optimism slightly ahead of this testing clash.
  • Sheffield Wednesday's season started in perfect fashion last weekend as they annihilated Wayne Rooney's Plymouth side in a 4-0 home triumph.
  • Smart summer recruitment has left Danny Röhl in a position to fight in the top half this season following a nervous fight against relegation last time around.
