Sunderland are preparing for their Championship match against Millwall - but who will start for Mike Dodds’ side?
The Black Cats beat play-off contenders West Brom last weekend, after Pierre Ekwah scored the only goal of the game. Dodds once again opted to play with a back three and wing-backs, but may alter his side’s system this weekend.
Here’s our predicted Sunderland XI to face Millwall at the Stadium of Light:
9. CAM: Adil Aouchiche
