Robin Roefs retains his place in goal at the Kassam Stadium, but Nordi Mukiele is the only member of the back four that started in Wednesday's Premier League defeat to Liverpool to keep his place for today's cup game.
Mukiele will start at centre-half today, partnering Luke O'Nien, with Trai Hume reverting to right-back. Dennis Cirkin replaces Reinildo Mandava on the right of the back four.
Lutsharel Geertruida return to Sunderland's starting side, and is set to play as part of a midfield three that will also feature Habib Diarra and Enzo Le Fee.
Chemsdine Talbi and Romaine Mundle will fill the wide-attacking positions, with Wilson Isidor replacing Brian Brobbey up front.
