Most fans agree the Black Cats manager has made the right call, sticking with the same starting XI which defeated Rochdale 4-1 last weekend.
There were some calls for Max Power to be recalled following his three-match suspension, but the midfielder will start on a strong-looking substitutes bench, alongside Bryan Oviedo, Aiden McGeady and Jerome Sinclair.
Here's how fans reacted on social media:
@WERGHJIGgJ: Best Bench in the history of league 1
@LdoubleE_87: Strong bench that like #SAFC

@AnthonyMorrow83: Played so well last game, I'm not surprised. Shows there's real competition for places too - Power has to do his bit to get back in there.
@NyronLadSAFC: That bench is mental
@tmalbrghtn: Power for McGeough would have been my only call
@KingstonSi: No surprise Power is on the bench. Probably ease him in after being out for three matches and Ross not wanting to change a winning side.#SAFC

@Bodders444: Power should be starting for me ... #safc
@AlanMould: Loyalty for a good result last time out, can't argue. Expect Power to make an appearance at some time though.
