After a solid draw at Brentford last weekend and a Carabao Cup win over Hull City in midweek, Régis Le Bris has some big decisions to make as Sunderland welcome the Champions to the Stadium of Light on Saturday night.
Here, we predict what his starting XI might look like and who will make it into the bench - with some very tight calls to be on both fronts...

13. Sub - Trai Hume
Unlucky to be left out of the side last week but competition is so fierce on the right flank. Will likely have a big role to play from the bench again | Getty Images

14. Sub - Luke O'Nien
Brings leadership and versatility to the squad and was a key part of the win in midweek | Chris Fryatt

15. Sub - Omar Alderete
Still clearly working his way up to full match fitness so will have been pleased to come through 90 minutes in midweek | Getty Images
