Sunderland are preparing to face Coventry City in the Championship - but who will start for Tony Mowbray’s side at the CBS Arena?
The Black Cats recorded their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Rotherham last weekend, with Jobe Bellingham scoring his first senior goals.
Sunderland will have to manage without Patrick Roberts, though, after the winger was ruled out for the side’s next two fixtures with a hamstring issue.
Here’s our predicted Sunderland XI to face Coventry at the CBS Arena:
1. GK: Anthony Patterson
Patterson has started every league fixture for Sunderland since their return to the Championship. The keeper has impressed again this season but made a costly mistake at Bristol City. Photo: Frank Reid
2. RB: Trai Hume
Hume has shown his versatility this season by playing on the right and left side of defence. The defender has also moved into midfield positions depending on the opposition. Photo: Frank Reid
3. CB: Dan Ballard
The centre-back felt he should have been awarded a late penalty in the defeat at Bristol City but was left frustrated. Photo: Frank Reid
4. CB: Luke O’Nien
O’Nien was regularly selected as a centre-back under Tony Mowbray and has captained the side this season with Corry Evans still sidelined with an injury. Photo: Frank Reid
