The Sunderland team Alex Neil could name against Wigan Athletic - including two changes from Burton Albion draw

Sunderland will face a tricky test when they face a high-flying Wigan side at the DW Stadium this weekend – but who will start for the Black Cats?

Alex Neil is still searching for his first win since taking charge of the side following two draws and one defeat.

Sunderland salvaged a late point against Burton Albion last time out, as Ross Stewart scored a stoppage-time equaliser.

Wigan are in fine form after taking ten points from their last four games, with Leam Richardson’s side looking well placed to win automatic promotion.

Here’s the SAFC side we think could start against the Latics this weekend.
