Jack Ross has made just one change to his side from Tuesday night’s draw with Blackpool.
Charlie Wyke has come in for Duncan Watmore, who misses out due to the fact his recovery from a second ACL injury doesn’t allow him to play two matches in such quick succession.
Wyke leads the line alongside Will Grigg while Aiden McGeady, Lynden Gooch, George Honeyman and Grant Leadbitter make up the midfield.
Lee Cattermole returns from injury and is named on the bench alongside Max Power, who is involved once again after his partner gave birth to their third child earlier this week.
Sunderland: McLaughlin, O’Nien, Dunne, Baldwin, James, Leadbitter, Honeyman, Gooch, McGeady, Wyke, Grigg
Subs: Ruiter, Cattermole, Maguire, McGeouch, Flanagan, Morgan, Power
