Starting XI: Pritchard returns to face Luton

Tony Mowbray has named his starting XI for this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship Play-Off semi-final versus Luton Town.

A sold-out Stadium of Light will play host to the match-up, with over 45,000 fans expected to back the Black Cats as they look to reach back-to-back EFL Play-Off finals.

Sunderland AFC: Patterson, Hume, O’Nien, Gooch, Roberts, Neil, Ekwah, Pritchard, Clarke, Amad, Gelhardt.

Substitutes: Bass, Lihadji, Ba, Anderson, Michut, Taylor, Huggins.
