SUNDERLAND manager Simon Grayson has named another unchanged starting line-up for this evening's televised game with Leeds United.
Grayson has now named the same side for all four of his side's Championship matches this season.
James Vaughan will continue to partner Lewis Grabban in attack, with George Honeyman and Aiden McGeady once again named in the wide positions.
Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen has been forced into a major rethink after his employers accepted Burnley's £15m offer for striker Chris Wood earlier this morning.
Wood travelled to Wearside with the rest of the Leeds squad yesterday,but was pulled out of today's game ahead of a proposed medical at Burnley in the next 24 hours.
In his absence, Caleb Ekuban will start as a lone striker for Leeds, with Samuel Saiz expected to play in the 'number ten' role.
SUNDERLAND (4-4-2): Steele; Jones, Browning, Kone, Galloway; Honeyman, Cattermole, Ndong, McGeady; Vaughan, Grabban.
Subs: Ruiter (gk), O'Shea, Matthews, Gibson, Gooch, Khazri, Asoro.
LEEDS (4-2-3-1): Wiedwald; Ayling, Cooper, Jansson, Anita; O'Kane, Phillips; Alioski, Saiz, Hernandez; Ekuban.
Subs: Green (gk), Borthwick-Jackson, Roofe, Dallas, Vieira, Shaughnessy, Klich.
