WHAT IS SUNDERLAND'S LIKELY LINE-UP?

Regis Le Bris has a couple of decisions to make in defence tonight.

Chris Mepham is available after serving his suspension but might have to settle for a place on the bench.

Le Bris must also decide whether to again start Aji Alese at left-back or restore Dennis Cirkin to the starting XI. Cirkin was on the bench for the weekend win over Stoke.

The midfield and attack is likely to be unchanged,

SUNDERLAND PROBABLE XI: Patterson, Hume, Ballard, O'Nien, Cirkin; Neil, Bellingham, Rigg; Roberts, Watson, Isidor

HOW ARE BRISTOL CITY SHAPING UP?

Bristol City have lost three of their last four games to slide to 12th in the Championship table.

They were thumped 3-0 at Portsmouth last time out.

They have a decent enough away record, however, having won three and drawn three of their 10 games on the road.

BRISTOL CITY PROBABLE XI: Max O'Leary; Haydon Roberts, Luke McNally, Rob Dickie, Zak Vyner; Jason Knight, Max Bird; Anis Mehmeti, George Earthy, Yu Hirakawa; Nahki Wells
