Régis Le Bris is set to continue his rotation policy when Sunderland travel to Bristol City on Friday.
Le Bris wants his squad in the best shape possible for the play-offs and so will be managing their minutes carefully over the Easter weekend. With that in mind, this is the team and bench we think that he might go with...

13. Sub - Wilson Isidor
Has the faith of his head coach and so every chance he starts, but Mayenda might be slightly ahead if Sunderland only go with one striker on current form. Isidor's pace in that scenario would be crucial in the latter stages whether it's to offer an outlet or as part of a front two chasing the game. | Frank Reid

14. Sub - Chris Rigg
Was incredibly unlucky not to start in the two legs and was excellent after his introduction in both. Will be keen to start and deserves it, and showed in extra time he's a viable option off the right. If he is on the bench, he'll have a massive part to play as an impact sub if Sunderland are to have any chance of getting over the line. | Jessica Hornby/PA Wire

15. Sub - Chris Mepham
Will likely have to settle for a place on the bench again given Ballard and O'Nien's performances over the semi finals. Could yet have a massive role as a sub. | Richard Sellers/PA Wire

16. Sub - Alan Browne
His experience could be vital but seems more likely to be used as a sub. Photo: Ben Roberts Photo
