One change: Sunderland predicted line up to face Middlesbrough
Sunderland go up against Middlesbrough in the Championship this weekend.
Sunderland host Middlesbrough tomorrow afternoon, in the Championship's lunch time kick off.
The Black Cats are sitting pretty in 4th place of the Championship table right now, having won five of their last six league outings.
Middlesbrough meanwhile sit in 17th. Michael Carrick's side started poorly but have since won their last three in the league, winning their last four in all competitions.
The midweek round of fixtures saw Sunderland beat Watford 2-0 and Middlesbrough beat Cardiff City by the same scoreline.
Who's out for Sunderland?
As ever, it seems, Tony Mowbray has a few injuries to contend with.
Alex Pritchard is the latest to join the injury list, with a calf injury looking set to keep him out of this weekend's game after he missed the Watford clash.
Elsewhere, Pierre Ekwah (dead leg) and Bradley Dack (hamstring) are expected to return after the international break, as per Sunderland Echo.
Aji Alese, Eliezer Mayenda, Jay Matete, Corry Evans, Timothee Pembele, and Dennis Cirkin remain sidelined.
Predicted line up
Injuries is making for a mostly unchanged line up for Sunderland in most games.
And with the international break just around the corner, we could see another unchanged XI.
Jenson Seelt may be pushing for a start after making his return from injury this month, whilst Mowbray may have a selection headache between the likes of Abdoullah Ba and Patrick Roberts in attack.
Also in attack, Nazariy Rusyn could be pushing for his first start, with mason Burstow yet to get off the mark.
Here's how we expect Sunderland to line up tomorrow...
Patterson (GK)
Hume
O'Nien
Ballard
Huggins
Neil
Bellingham
Ba
Roberts
Clarke
Rusyn
Kick off is at 12:30pm.
