What to make of that side
A few surprises in there.
Mowbray has made two changes from the side which started against Burnley, with Bailey Wright and Leon Dajaku replacing Trai Hume and Elliot Embleton - who both drop to the bench.
It will be interesting to see if Dajaku plays through the middle as a centre-forward, meaning Jack Clarke could move back out to the left.
Mowbray did have a lengthy chat with Dajaku as the teams came onto the pitch earlier and was giving the German some instructions.
Wright’s recall could be a wise move given Sunderland’s lack of aerial presence. It means Luke O’Nien will probably move to right-back.
Patrick Roberts and Ellis Simms have both returned to the bench.
