Team News: Grabban misses out

Chris Coleman has made two changes for today’s Boxing Day clash at Bramall Lane.

Bryan Oviedo and Aiden McGeady both start against Sheffield United but the big news from Yorkshire is that Lewis Grabban misses out due to a calf injury.

Donald Love drops to the bench but Darron Gibson starts and it’s as you were in midfield as George Honeyman and Lynden Gooch also retain their places.

Billy Jones is back on the bench following a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with Josh Maja and Joel Asoro also amongst the substitutes.

Sunderland: Ruiter, Matthews, O’Shea, Browning, Wilson, Oviedo, Gibson, Honeyman, Gooch, McGeady, Vaughan.
