Sunderland are preparing for Tuesday’s match against Leicester at the King Power Stadium - but who will start for Tony Mowbray’s side?
The Black Cats will be looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats following a 2-1 loss against Stoke last time out.
Leicester have won 11 of their 12 league games so far this season and are top of the Championship following seven straight league wins.
