Bailey Wright, who limped off during the win over Oxford United last week, is ruled out through injury, with Alim Ozturk coming into the side in his place.
New signing Tommy Smith comes straight onto the substitutes bench, after completing his arrival on Wearside yesterday.
Chris Maguire and Lynden Gooch support Charlie Wyke in attack and Max Power once again captains the lads, partnering George Dobson in midfield.
