After a frustrating draw at The Valley, the lads will be looking to get back to winning ways in the EFL Trophy.
GK: Remi Matthews. Matthews has endured a rocky start to life on Wearside and will hope to impress against a lower league opposition.
RWB: Luke O’Nien. The lad deserves a break, but Conor McLaughlin is away with Northern Ireland so O’Nien will retain his place.
CB: Jordan Willis. Another first team regular, Willis’ inclusion in this team again highlights the need for backup defensively.
