Sunderland face QPR on the final day of the regular Championship season this Saturday looking to build some positive momentum for when the play-off campaign begins next week.
Régis Le Bris will pick a strong Sunderland side as a result - so who will be in the XI and who will be on the bench? This is what we think he’ll go with...

9. RW - Patrick Roberts
Played through the pain barrier on in the second leg due to a minor calf issue. Will start here providing he has fully recovered. But most definitely one to watch. | Getty Images

10. LW - Romaine Mundle
Changed the game against Coventry City with a brilliant performance. No doubt at all that he makes it into Sunderland's strongest starting XI, and it's merely a question of whether he is fit enough to start. If Sunderland have any reservations about his ability to last the full game, they might want his impact late on. A huge call for Le Bris. Photo: Stu Forster

11. CF - Eliezer Mayenda
It's a tricky decision to make for Le Bris given how good Isidor has been since his arrival from Zenit but for hold-up play and dribbling ability as well as goalscoring, it's just hard to see right now how Mayenda can be left out. | Getty Images

12. Sub - Simon Moore
Firmly established as next in line after a good spell in the side through Patterson's injury earlier in the season. | Frank Reid
