REGIS Le Bris has made wholesale changes to his Sunderland team at Preston, as promised.

The head coach has changed his entire 11 for tonight's Carabao Cup first round tie.

Simon Moore comes into the side in goal, with Zak Johnson, Nectar Triantis, Leo Hjelde and Joe Anderson lining up in defence.

Pierre Ekwah will play alongside Chris Rigg and Adil Aouchiche in midfield, with Abdoullah Ba and Romaine Mundle supporting Nazariy Rusyn.

It's a chance for Sunderland's fringe figures to try and catch the eye of the head coach with the transfer deadline fast approaching.

Hemir and Jewison Bennette, who are both expected to leave on loan before the deadline, are both on the bench, with Dan Neil, Trai Hume and Luke O'Nien the three senior players among the substitutes.

Sunderland: Moore, Johnson, Triantis, Hjelde, Anderson, Ekwah, Rigg, Aouchiche, Ba, Mundle, Rusyn

Subs: Nna Noukeu, Neil, Hemir, O'Nien, Bennette, Hume, Watson, Crompton, H.Jones

Preston: Woodman; Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Potts, Ledson, Whiteman, Brady, Frokjaer, Keane, Riis.

Subs: Cornell, Kesler-Hayden, Bauer, Whatmough, Best, Thordarson, Greenwood, Holmes, Osmajic.
