Sunderland conclude another hectic week of Championship football in South Wales on Saturday when they face Swansea City.
With Tommy Watson ruled out for eight weeks, there are some big decisions for Regis Le Bris to make. Here’s what we think he might do, both from the start and on his substitutes bench...

18. Sub - Salis Abdul Samed
Hasn't been able to find a level of form that puts him in contention to play a major part at Wembley but his experience could yet be important. | Frank Reid

19. Sub - Tommy Watson
Seems unlikely to get minutes now Mundle is available again but an option as an impact sub if Sunderland are chasing the game. | Frank Reid

20. Sub - Harrison Jones
Sunderland have been hopeful that Aji Alese might be able to make the bench but Jones could keep his place after a good campaign. | Chris Fryatt
