Sunderland are looking to end the regular season on a high and step up their preparations for the play-offs as they welcome QPR to the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
QPR will be managed by assistant coaches Kevin Betsy and Xavi Calm after head coach Marti Cifuentes was placed on gardening leave earlier this week amid reports of interest from other clubs. Both clubs have a significant list of injury and suspension concerns - here’s all the team news as we have it so far...

7. Aji Alese - doubt
Alese almost made an unlikely return to the squad for the semi finals after suffering a serious injury in January but Le Bris confirmed last Monday that he needed another week to be ready. He should therefore be in contention to feature, but Le Bris will have a decision to make about the extent of his possible involvement. Photo: Nathan Stirk

8. Ian Poveda - doubt
Spotted back in training this week but big question marks as to whether Le Bris will include him given how little football he has played this year and season. | Frank Reid
