Sunderland return to Championship action at Hull City next Sunday looking to build on their strong start to the season.
The Black Cats salvaged a late draw against Leeds United and though Tim Walter’s side were beaten heavily by Norwich City, they had won their previous three competitive fixtures to underline that they will pose a serious threat. Here’s how we think Regis Le Bris will go with his Sunderland side, including his most likely substitutes...
13. Sub - Leo Hjelde
Almost certain to be in the squad given the cover he can offer on the left of defence and in the middle. Got some league minutes in three of the last four games, which Le Bris said was a reward for his consistency in training. Photo: Frank Reid

15. Sub - Milan Aleksic
Was moments away from his debut off the bench in stoppage time during midweek and so will hope for a chance here. | Frank Reid Photo: The Academy of Light
16. Sub - Eliezer Mayenda
