After springing something of a selection surprise at Preston North End in midweek, Régis Le Bris again has some big selection decisions to make as Sunderland look to get back to winning ways against Coventry City on Saturday afternoon.
Here’s how we think he’ll go, both with his bench and the starting XI...
5. LB - Dennis Cirkin
Having a superb campaign so far and no doubt over his place in the team. Only slight reservation would be over fatigue and his workload but right now has very little competition. | Ian Horrocks
6. CM - Dan Neil
With Salis Abdul Samed still sidelined he's almost certain to continue all the way to the end of this busy week of fixtures. Photo: Frank Reid
7. CM - Alan Browne
Looks set for another opportunity to impress in midfield amid Jobe Bellingham's ongoing absence through suspension. | Ian Horrocks
8. CM - Chris Rigg
Played ninety minutes in midweek but with midfield options light he will almost certainly have to go again here. Now undoubtedly one of Sunderland's most dangerous players in possession. | Getty Images
