Regis Le Bris makes Nilson Angulo decision at Arsenal after deadline day transfer

But Nilson Angulo is in the squad for the first time since joining the Black Cats, with the winger taking a place on the bench. Melker Ellborg is also among the substitutes.

Simon Moore and Jenson Jones drop out of the squad.

Sunderland are again without Granit Xhaka today, with Noah Sadiki, Habib Diarra and Enzo Le Fee playing in midfield. Chemsdine Talbi will also provide support for the in-form Bryan Brobbey.

Trai Hume has been playing on the right side of midfield in recent weeks but Le Bris might well move to a back five today, with Nordi Mukiele tucking inside to play alongside Dan Ballard and Omar Alderete. Reinildo starts on the left of the defence.

SUNDERLAND: Roefs, Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Alderete, Reinildo, Sadiki, Diarra, Le Fee, Talbi, Brobbey

SUBSTITUTES: Ellborg, Cirkin, O'Nien, Geertruida, Rigg, Mundle, Isidor, Mayenda, Angulo

SUBSTITUTES: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, White, Hincapie, Eze, Martinelli, Gyokeres, Norgaard, Lewis-Skelly.
