TONY MOWBRAY has named an unchanged starting line-up for Sunderland's decisive play-off semi-final second leg against Luton Town.

Both Patrick Roberts and Alex Pritchard have overcome the injury issues that forced them off during Saturday's first leg at the Stadium of Light.

As a result, the pair are both able to feature in the starting side at Kenilworth Road as the Black Cats look to secure a place in the play-off final at Wembley.

As expected, Aji Alese returns to the squad for the first time since early March after recovering from injury, but the defender is only named on the substitutes' bench.

That means Sunderland continuing to field a three-man defensive system with Trai Hume, Luke O'Nien and Lynden Gooch playing at centre-half. Roberts and Jack Clarke will continue in the wing-back positions.

Luton boss Rob Edwards has also named an unchanged starting XI as his side look to overturn their one-goal deficit from the first leg.


LUTON (3-5-2): Horvath; Osho, Lockyer, Bell; Drameh, Mpanzu, Nakamba, Clark, Doughty; Morris, Adebayo.

Subs: Shea, Potts, Berry, Burke, Campbell, Onyedinma, Taylor.

SUNDERLAND (3-4-3): Patterson; Hume, O'Nien, Gooch; Roberts, Neil, Ekwah, Clarke; Amad, Pritchard, Gelhardt.

Subs: Bass, Lihadji, Ba, Anderson, Michut, Alese, Huggins.
