The Black Cats are set to shuffle their pack for the visit of Villa and, in a poll on our @sunechosafc Twitter page, supporters have called for as many as EIGHT changes to be made.
Scroll down to see the team that fans have picked – and let us know if you agree with the choices:
1. GK: Remi Matthews
While his debut against Carlisle was a mixed affair, fans are keen to see how Matthews fares in a competitive game - with 54.5% calling for him to start against Villa. Photo: Ian Horrocks
2. CB: Arbenit Xhemajli
This selection is prefaced with a big 'if' - as Xhemajli is still waiting on international clearance - but if it comes through, then 40.2% of fans believe the Kosovan international should start. Photo: FRANK REID 2020
3. CB: Morgan Feeney
We haven't seen a great deal of Feeney since his move to Wearside, but the former Everton defender has been backed by 37.5% of fans to start in the EFL Trophy. Photo: Frank Reid
4. CB: Brandon Taylor
49.4% of supporters are keen to see Taylor - who impressed in the FA Cup last season - handed an opportunity. Photo: FRANK REID 2019
