The Sunderland team set to face QPR - with 11 changes from Sheffield Wednesday defeat: Predicted line-up

Sunderland will face QPR at the Stadium of Light this weekend – but who will start for the Black Cats?

Alex Neil’s side have taken four points from their first two Championship matches but were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.

Neil made 11 changes for the match at Hillsborough and several players will be expected to be recalled to the side after a 2-0 loss.

Rangers often play with a 4-3-3 system so it will be interesting to see if Neil alters his side’s shape to match the opposition up.

Here’s the Sunderland side we think could start against QPR.
