Sunderland are preparing for their Championship fixture against Huddersfield - but who will start for Tony Mowbray’s side at the Stadium of Light?
The Black Cats were beaten 2-0 at Plymouth on Saturday and dropped to ninth in the Championship table ahead of this week’s fixtures.
Despite their injury issues, Huddersfield managed to come from behind to draw 1-1 with Southampton last time out, with Ben Jackson netting a late equaliser three minutes from time.
