Great News – Sunderland PREPARES to recover FULLY from their defeat against Coventry as they are SET to feature this STARTING XI against Millwall

Predicted Sunderland Starting XI to Face Millwall

Sunderland AFC is set to face Millwall in the Championship, and manager Régis Le Bris is expected to make a few changes to his starting lineup. The Black Cats are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 loss to Coventry City, and Le Bris will be hoping to get his team back on track.

Here’s a predicted starting XI:

1. GK: Anthony Patterson – Sunderland’s number one goalkeeper is unlikely to be dropped, despite the team’s recent struggles. Patterson has been a consistent performer for the Black Cats and will be looking to keep a clean sheet against Millwall.
2. LB: Leo Hjelde – With Dennis Cirkin potentially out injured, Hjelde is expected to return at left-back. The former Leeds United man has been a solid performer for Sunderland this season, and Le Bris will be hoping he can provide some much-needed stability at the back.
3. RB: Trai Hume – The Northern Ireland international is a consistent performer for Sunderland and will be looking to provide some width and attacking threat down the right flank.
4. CB: Chris Mepham – The Wales international centre-back is expected to start if he comes through the break unscathed. Mepham has been a key player for Sunderland this season, and Le Bris will be hoping he can provide some leadership and experience at the back.
5. CB: (To be confirmed) – The second centre-back spot is up for grabs, with options including Bailey Wright and Ollie Younger. Wright has been a solid performer for Sunderland this season, but Younger has also shown promise in recent games. Le Bris will have to decide which player to start alongside Mepham.

The predicted starting XI also includes:

• Midfielders: Corry Evans, Edouard Michut, and Abdoullah Ba. Evans has been a consistent performer for Sunderland this season, while Michut and Ba have shown promise in recent games.
• Forwards: Amad Diallo and Joe Gelhardt. Diallo has been a key player for Sunderland this season, and Gelhardt has shown promise in recent games. Le Bris will be hoping the two forwards can provide some much-needed firepower up front.

Sunderland will be looking to get back to winning ways against Millwall, and Le Bris will be hoping his team can provide a solid performance. The Black Cats are still fourth in the Championship table, but their form has dipped in recent weeks. A win against Millwall would be a welcome boost for Sunderland, and Le Bris will be hoping his team can deliver.
