Sunderland starting line-up and substitutes:

Gillingham play host to Sunderland at the Priestfield Stadium in League One tonight, and both sides will be confident in their chances of taking maximum points from the contest, having taken six and seven points from their respective three games so far this season.

Gillingham won their opening two league games before losing away at Walsall last time out, and they currently sit eighth spot in the table.

Steve Lovell’s side can leap-frog Sunderland into fifth spot in the table with a win tonight, but the Black Cats will represent a tough challenge for the Gills.

Sunderland have won two and drawn one of their opening three Championship outings thus far, and can climb level on points with third placed Barnsley with a win in Kent tonight.

The Wearsiders are the clear 19/20 favourites, according to SkyBET, whilst Gillingham can be backed at a rather generous looking 11/4.

The game kicks off tonight at 19:45, and there should be an entertaining, expansive game of football on display at the Priestfield Stadium, with both sides looking to win the game.
