George Honeyman makes his first Premier League start at the Hawthorns as Sunderland face West Bromwich Albion.
The forward was tenacious and tireless against Burnley on Tuesday night, and his performance has been rewarded another start as Fabio Borini drops to the bench.
John O’Shea and Jermain Defoe both return to the starting XI, as does Jack Rodwell who missed the 2-0 defeat at Turf Moor.
Victor Anichebe makes his matchday comeback and is named on the bench alongside the likes of Tom Robson, Ethan Robson and Elliot Embleton.
Sunderland: Mannone, Jones, O’Shea, Djilobdoji, van Aanholt, Denayer, Larsson, Rodwell, Honeyman, Januzaj, Defoe.
Subs: Mika, Borini, Love, E Robson, Anichebe, Embleton, T Robson.
