Sunderland
West Ham
- Danny Rose and Carlos Cuellar were both withdrawn due to injury against Bolton and the latter has made costly mistakes in recent weeks so could be replaced by Kilgallon.
- Connor Wickham scored from the bench last weekend, doing his chances of a rare start no harm, but Stephane Sessegnon is likely to return to the starting XI.
- Elsewhere, if Rose cannot recover in time Jack Colback may be asked to play at left-back, with Craig Gardner moving forward into the midfield.
- Joey O'Brien is rated as doubtful ahead of the trip to Sunderland, with youngster Daniel Potts ready to deputise if needed.
- Despite a lack of match fitness Joe Cole should keep his place in the side after setting up both of West Ham's goals in the 3-2 defeat to United last weekend.
- Mark Noble and Kevin Nolan should return to the starting XI, with the latter perhaps moving Cole out to a wider position on the left.
i think this match will be a 2-2 draw.
