Sunderland are preparing for their second match of their US tour against New Mexico United - but who will start for Tony Mowbray’s side?
The Black Cats beat San Antonio FC 3-1 in their previous friendly, with 20 outfield players receiving 45 minutes each.
With four more pre-season matches before the start of the season, Mowbray will be weighing up his options ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Here’s our predicted Sunderland line-up to face New Mexico United:

3. CB: Dan Ballard

4. CB: Danny Batth
A minor injury caused Batth to miss Sunderland’s first pre-season friendlies this summer, yet the 32-year-old returned against San Antonio. Photo: Frank Reid
