Phil Parkinson has named an unchanged side for today’s game against Oxford United.
After notching six clean sheets in his last seven games, Jon McLaughlin will be hoping to register another shutout at the Kassam Stadium.
At the other end, Chris Maguire is fit to start after shaking off a knock that forced him off against Rochdale, with in-form Lynden Gooch and Charlie Wyke also among the XI.
Max Power, who once again captains the Lads, features in midfield alongside George Dobson, with a strong bench including the likes of Alim Ozturk, Josh Scowen and Kyle Lafferty.
Sunderland AFC: J McLaughlin, Willis, Power, Maguire, Wyke, Gooch, Flanagan, O’Nien, Dobson, Wright, Hume.
Substitutes: Burge, C McLaughlin, Ozturk, Lafferty, Watmore, Scowen, Semenyo.
