The Stadium of Light's looking great ahead of this afternoon's game! http://pic.twitter.com/auKCtUoCct There could be several home debutants this afternoon, with Billy Jones fit again and Patrick van Aanholt, Jack Rodwell, Jordi Gomez, Costel Pantilimon and Will Buckley all in contention. But who will make the cut? We'll have team news at around 3pm.
Johnson dropped for Buckley. Hopefully a tactical decision, I would I'd dropped one of fletcher or Wickham.
aye, wickham up front and fletcher benched. wickham was wasted out on the wing last week, and fletcher doesn't work hard enough.
Sunderland XI: Mannone, Vergini, van Aanholt, Brown, O'Shea (c), Cattermole, Larsson, Rodwell, Buckley, Wickham, Fletcher. Subs: Pantilimon, Jones, Bridcutt, Gomez, Altidore, Mavrias, Roberge. Man Utd XI: De Gea, Blackett, Jones, Smalling, Valencia, Young, Cleverley, Fletcher, Mata, Rooney (c), van Persie. Subs: Januzaj, Chicharito, Welbeck, Kagawa, Keane, James, Amos.
Can't see us getting anything with that team. hopefully it proves me wrong & good luck to the lads who are going to the game today.

Think it willbe like above attacking then 433 defending. On a positive note i am getting 4g in the sol Right off to me seat in the concourse. can't wait its been too long.
Come on lads, a win today would set the season alight and might help push some transfers over the line!
We look ok considering our 'brightest/creative' players are out. Larson switched off for Mata as the ball squeezed through. I don't think wor Fletcher has touched the ball tho....whilst Buckley has been a real threat. Promising so far and fin get in Rodders...
Loving Buckleys cavalier wing play and the work ethic. Can't fault any of them and that Utd defence is paper thin. Fancy us to put the pressure in now. We deserve nothing less here.
