The two bottom-placed teams in the Premier League table face each other as Sunderland travels away from home for their next league match against Coventry on Saturday.
Sunderland team news
Sunderland receive key fitness boosts ahead of the clash, significantly strengthening Régis Le Bris’ options. Striker Wilson Isidor is set to return to action after successfully resuming full training this week.
Defensively, Thomas Meunier has recovered from a hamstring issue, and Kevin Danso has served his suspension, with both players fully available after missing the midweek Carabao Cup win over Brentford.
Habib Diarra is also expected to feature after a planned half-time withdrawal to manage his workload. On the downside, Nordi Mukiele remains a major doubt following a minor knock picked up against Leeds.
Long-term absentees Dan Ballard and Romaine Mundle remain completely ruled out with hamstring and knee injuries, respectively.
Davy Roefs is expected to start in goal, shielded by Luke O’Nien and Omar Alderete, while Chris Rigg and young talent Habib Diarra look to spark the attack behind forward Brian Brobbey.
Sunderland predicted lineup
Possible Sunderland starting XI: Roefs; Mukiele, O’Nien, Alderete, Reinildo; Sadiki, Xhaka; Rigg, Diarra, Angulo; Brobbey
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 3pm BST on Saturday, 31st October.
How to watch Coventry vs Sunderland?
Because the game kicks off on Saturday at 3:00 PM BST, it falls strictly within the UK’s traditional Saturday 3:00 PM TV blackout window, meaning no domestic broadcaster—such as Sky Sports or TNT Sports—is permitted to screen it live.
