Sunderland head coachTony Mowbray talks Ellis Simms fitness and Jack Clarke suspension ahead of Huddersfield Town

Sunderland are back in action at the John Smith’s Stadium against Huddersfield Town in the Championship this Saturday.

The Championship pair face off in Yorkshire this week as Sunderland look to build on their 1-1 draw away to Luton Town in the second tier last weekend.

After a nervy start the Black Cats held their own in an even first half, but fell behind on the stroke of half-time. Carlton Morris opened the scoring when he converted Alfie Doughty’s low cross, yet Sunderland responded after the break.

Elliot Embleton scored the equalised 12 minutes from time when he converted Jack Clarke’s low cross.

Ahead of the trip to the John Smith’s Stadium, however, Sunderland head coach Tony Mowbray is set to face the media. Here, we’ll have live updates with the boss due at 1:30pm.
