TONY Mowbray has named an unchanged starting XI for the game against Sheffield United after the impressive win at Norwich City.

Alex Pritchard returns to the bench for the Black Cats in place of Ellis Taylor but, as expected, the game has come too soon for Amad Diallo, who again misses out.

With Amad absent, Norwich matchwinner Abdoullah Ba keeps his place in the team.

Paul Heckingbottom has made four changes to his Sheffield United team in the back of the home defeat to Luton.

George Baldock, Tommy Doyle, James McAtee and Daniel Jebbison replace Jayden Bogle, Oliver Norwood, John Fleck and Oli McBurnie.

Sunderland: Patterson, Hume, Batth, Ballard, O'Nien; Neil, Michut; Roberts, Ba, Clarke, Gelhardt

Subs: Bass, Bennette, Gooch, Pritchard, Anderson, Lihadji, Ekwah

Sheffield United starting XI: Foderingham; Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson; Baldock, Doyle, Berge, McAtee, Lowe; Ndiaye, Jebbison

Subs: Davies, Bogle, Basham, Norwood, Fleck, Sharp, McBurnie
