Alex Neil’s side beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 on aggregate to reach the final, with Patrick Roberts scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner at Hillsborough.
Neil has often set his side up based on how the opposition play, and the Black Cats boss has some big decisions to make ahead of the meeting with Wycombe.
Nathan Broadhead is available again after coming off the bench last time out, following the striker’s injury setback.
Here’s the Sunderland side we think could start at Wembley:

. GK: Anthony Patterson
Has started all 17 matches under Neil and impressed between the sticks. The 22-year-old will have to command his area well against Wycombe, though, particularly from set-pieces. Photo: JPI Media
. RB: Lynden Gooch
Carl Winchester is available again and could return at right-back. Still, Gooch performed excellently in the role during both legs of the play-off semi-final against Sheffield Wednesday. Photo: Frank Reid
5. LB: Dennis Cirkin
Sunderland's only recognised left-back missed three games with a calf issue last month but returned for the play-off semi-final against Sheffield Wednesday, playing 90 minutes in both fixtures. Photo: JPI Media
6. CM: Corry Evans
It was a difficult start to the season for the Sunderland captain who struggled with his form and injury setbacks. Evans, 31, has been a regular starter under Neil, though, and produced some excellent performances in the middle of the park to help his side reach the play-off final. Photo: JPI Media
7. CM: Luke O’Nien
Will come up against his former club at Wembley. The 27-year-old was moved back into the centre of midfield for both games against Sheffield Wednesday after playing in several roles during the course of the campaign. Photo: Frank Reid
8. RW: Patrick Roberts
