FA Cup team news: George Honeyman starts

George Honeyman makes his first Sunderland start of the season in tonight’s Emirates FA Cup replay at Burnley.

The youngster has been a regular fixture on the Black Cats bench this season and he now has a chance to impress in the competition he made his debut in during the 2014-15 campaign.

Jermain Defoe and John O’Shea are both named on the bench alongside a number of players from the under-23 set-up, including Tom Robson and Joel Asoro.

Donald Love, who is likely to move into midfield, starts, with fellow traditional right-backs Javier Manquillo and Billy Jones also included in David Moyes’ XI.

Sunderland: Mannone, Jones, van Aanholt, Denayer, Djilobodji, Larsson, Borini, Manquillo, Love, Honeyman, Januzaj.
Substitutes: Mika, O’Shea, Defoe, E Robson, T Robson, Asoro, Embleton.
