Sunderland are preparing for their Championship match against Cardiff at the Cardiff City Stadium - but who will start for Mike Dodds’ side?
The Black Cats have gone seven games without a win but will hope some of their injured players will be able to return after the international break. Cardiff will also be looking to bounce back after losing to Swansea last time out.
Here’s how the Black Cats could line up against the Bluebirds on Good Friday:
