It’s a huge game for Sunderland and Régis Le Bris as they take on Leeds United and look to move off the foot of the Premier League table.
The Sunderland head coach has some big decisions to make, with Kevin Danso suspended and Thomas Meunier and Wilson Isidor still major injury doubts. Here’s our best guess as to how he might go from the start and from the bench...
5. LB - Reinildo
Dayann Methalie had probably his best game yet on Thursday but Reinildo has been very dependable this season and will start here. | Sunderland Echo, Chris Fryatt
6. CM - Granit Xhaka
Xhaka played an hour in midweek before being brought off ahead of this crucial game where he will have a big role to play. | Sunderland Echo, Chris Fryatt
7. CM - Noah Sadiki
Sadiki was given a rare break from starting duties here and clear that was with a view to starting this one. | Sunderland Echo, Chris Fryatt
8. CM - Habib Diarra
One of the big decisions Le Bris has to make. Diarra had a good impact in Poland and Sunderland have been gradually building his minutes. Is he ready to go again a few days later? It could help the balance of the side if so.
