JOE GELHARDT returns to Sunderland's starting line-up for this evening's home game with Huddersfield Town.
Gelhardt returns to lead the line after a two-game absense from the starting line-up as the Black Cats look to keep their play-off push on track at the Stadium of Light.
The Leeds United loanee replaces Edouard Michut, who is unavailable after picking up a minor injury in training.
With Gelhardt set to start up front, Alex Pritchard is set to drop back into a midfield role alongside Dan Neil and Patrick Roberts.
Tony Mowbray has made two changes to his Sunderland side, with the second alteration being enforced.
Dennis Cirkin is suspended following his sending off against Birmingham, so Luke O'Nien returns to the side at centre-half with Lynden Gooch expected to start at left-back and Trai Hume primed to return to his right-back role.
SUNDERLAND (4-3-3): Patterson; Hume, O'Nien, Batth, Gooch; Roberts, Neil, Pritchard; Amad, Gelhardt, Clarke.
Subs: Bass (gk), Lihadji, Ekwah, Ba, Anderson, Taylor, Watson.
HUDDERSFIELD (3-4-1-2): Vaclik; Lees, Helik, Pearson; Kasumu, Hogg, Headley, Ruffels; Rudoni, Diarra, Ward.
Subs: Balkopic (gk), Rhodes, Hungbo, Edmonds-Green, Jackson, Lowton, Waghorn.
