REGIS Le Bris has made wholesale changes to his Sunderland side for tonight's game at Bradford City.
It's a crucial night for several players on the fringes, who will be desperate to catch the eye of the head coach.
Simon Moore starts in goal for the Black Cats, with Timothee Pembele, Leo Hjelde, Zak Johnson and Joe Anderson in defence. Chris Rigg starts in midfield alongside Elliot Embleton and Adil Aouchiche, with Abdoullah Ba, making his first appearance of the summer, and Romaine Mundle flanking Nazariy Rusyn.
Hemir is on the bench, as is Tommy Watson.
