'It's the stuff of dreams!': Sunderland fans react to Jack Ross' surprise team selection against Burton Albion

The Black Csats boss has brought in Grant Leadbitter alongside Dylan Mcgeouch in the centre of midfield, leaving out Max Power.

And in another surprise move, Bryan Oviedo has been brought in at left back for his first start in 2019.

Elsewhere, Aiden McGeady again misses out, while George Honeyman - the matchwinner against Rochdale - comes back into the starting line-up for the injured Lynden Gooch.

@DampDogBill: Very confident with that line up

@SteveLamb59: Happy with that, Haway me Bonny Lads!!

@Dan1879_SAFC: Shame there’s no McGeady but it’s still a strong team... haway let’s making these games in hand count!!!
