2. CB: Conor McLaughlin
With Jordan Willis still absent as he recovers following an injection, McLaughlin has been handed a chance to shine on the right side of the back three - and so far, he's taken it. Photo: FRANK REID 2020
3. CB: Bailey Wright
The Australian is one of the first names on the teamsheet at Sunderland, and that looks unlikely to change under Taylor's caretaker management. Photo: Frank Reid
4. CB: Tom Flanagan
Another regular in the back three, it's unlikely that Taylor will drastically change the defensive unit - meaning Flanagan is likely to start. Photo: Frank Reid
