Sunderland are aiming to bounce back from the disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Gillingham on Saturday afternoon at the Stadium of Light with the Black Cats three points off the automatic promotion places.
Will Phil Parkinson make changes for the trip to Rovers? Charlie Wyke is back in contention after he missed the Gillingham game with a back concern.
