Sunderland substitutes: Ruiter, McGeouch, Ozturk, Gooch, Morgan, Power, Wyke.
Sunderland are back in action this evening against Gillingham as they look to get back to winning ways following three draws in a row in League One.
Jack Ross needs a win to put a halt to growing concerns at the Stadium of Light, with Sunderland looking to push for automatic promotion once again.
Jon McLaughlin unsurprisingly keeps his place in goal, with a back four of Luke O’Nien, Jimmy Dunne, Tom Flanagan and Reece James ahead of him.
Lee Cattermole and Grant Leadbitter feature in the middle of the park, with Chris Maguire, George Honeyman and Aiden McGeady supporting Will Grigg up top.
Deadline day signing Grigg needs a goal after squandering a host of chances since his move to Wearside, and he is given another chance to break his duck tonight.
New signing Lewis Morgan is only on the bench as he attempts to get into the side, and is joined by fellow substitutes Robbin Ruiter, Dylan McGeouch, Alim Ozturk, Lynden Gooch, Max Power and Charlie Wyke.
