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...

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
