Sunderland are preparing for their Championship match against West Brom - but who will start for Mike Dodds’ side?
The Black Cats held automatic promotion chasers Leeds to a goalless draw on Tuesday, recording their fourth clean sheet in five matches. West Brom are another team targeting promotion this season, with Carlos Corberan’s side sitting fifth in the table.
