Sunderland
- Dwight Gayle and Sead Haksabanovic could both return for Stoke as they prepare to host Sunderland on their return to Championship action.
- Alex Neil looks set to be without ten first-team players on Saturday as his injury crisis continues.
- Dan Neil is suspended for the trip to the bet365 Stadium, so expect Luke O'Nien to step into the defensive midfield role here.
- That change could see Jenson Seelt make a start at centre-back alongside Dan Ballard.
