Carl Winchester scored the only goal of the game against The Dons as the Black Cats secured their third league win out of four games this season.

Johnson is now set to make changes for the game at Bloomfield Road, with new arrivals Frederik Alves and Niall Huggins in contention to make their Sunderland debuts.

Centre-back Bailey Wright is also expected to start the match after missing a large part of pre-season through injury.

In and outgoings are still expected at the Stadium of Light before the end of the month, with another striker and a full-back the priorities for the Wearsiders.

With just nine days to go for clubs to complete their business, it looks set to be a busy week on Wearside.
