MIKE Dodds has made two changes to Sunderland's starting XI for the game against West Brom.

Jobe Bellingham is back in the team and looks set to start up-front for the Black Cats, replacing Mason Burstow in the line-up. And Patrick Roberts comes in for Abdoullah Ba in the only other change.

The fit-again Nazariy Rusyn is on the bench alongside Burstow and Eliezer Mayenda, but there's no place for Hemir in the squad.

The back four of Niall Huggins, Dan Ballard, Luke O'Nien and Trai Hume remains unchanged, with Pierre Ekwah playing in front. Adil Aouchiche keeps his place in the side.

Sunderland (4-1-4-1): Patterson, Huggins, Ballard, O'Nien, Hume; Ekwah, Roberts, Neil, Aouchiche, Clarke, Jobe

Subs: Bishop, Burstow, Rusyn, Ba, Pritchard, Seelt, Triantis, Dack, Mayenda

West Brom (4-2-3-1): Palmer; Furlong, Bartley, Kipre, Townsend (c); Molumby, Mowatt; Diangana, Swift, Sarmiento; Maja.

Subs: Griffiths, Pipa, Ajayi, Pieters, Taylor, Chalobah, Fellows, Higgins, Thomas-Asante.
