Régis Le Bris and his Sunderland side face a huge test of their promotion credentials when Sheffield United visit the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night.
Le Bris continues to face a number of injury issues and with the fixtures coming thick and fast, he has some big selection decisions to make. Here’s how we think he might go...

13. Sub - Wilson Isidor
Has the faith of his head coach and so every chance he starts, but Mayenda might be slightly ahead if Sunderland only go with one striker on current form. Isidor's pace in that scenario would be crucial in the latter stages whether it's to offer an outlet or as part of a front two chasing the game. | Frank Reid

14. Sub - Chris Rigg
Was incredibly unlucky not to start in the two legs and was excellent after his introduction in both. Will be keen to start and deserves it, and showed in extra time he's a viable option off the right. If he is on the bench, he'll have a massive part to play as an impact sub if Sunderland are to have any chance of getting over the line. | Jessica Hornby/PA Wire

15. Sub - Chris Mepham
Will likely have to settle for a place on the bench again given Ballard and O'Nien's performances over the semi finals. Could yet have a massive role as a sub. | Richard Sellers/PA Wire

16. Sub - Alan Browne
His experience could be vital but seems more likely to be used as a sub. Photo: Ben Roberts Photo
