David Moyes has made changes for today’s game against Liverpool.
Donald Love and Jack Rodwell both start at the Stadium of Light with captain John O’Shea, who started against Burnley in midfield, dropping into defence alongside Papy Djilobodji.
Lamine Kone and Victor Anichebe – both forced off in the opening 45 minutes at Turf Moor – miss out, with Jason Denayer unavailable once again due to a hamstring problem.
Jordan Pickford, Lee Cattermole, Jan Kirchhoff, Lynden Gooch and Duncan Watmore remain sidelined, with Moyes naming a youthful bench that includes Michael Ledger, Elliot Embleton, George Honeyman and Josh Maja.
Named in the squad against Burnley, Javier Manquillo could make his return to action against his former club after being name amongst the substitutes.
Steven Pienaar is not included in the matchday squad.
Sunderland: Mannone, van Aanholt, Djilobodji, Larsson, Rodwell, Borini, O’Shea, Ndong, Defoe, Love, Januzaj.
Substitutes: Khazri, Mika, Manquillo, Honeyman, Maja, Embleton, Ledger.
