Sunderland 2-1 Millwall
Given the break in action, this is a difficult match to call. Both teams will be eager to make a statement which may be felt in the long term, but home advantage could prove key for the Black Cats as they sense an opportunity to catapult themselves back into contention.

Although Ross Stewart is pushing for a return from injury, the club's top goalscorer is unlikely to start if passed fit due to being absent since August.

Barring any fitness issues, Mowbray may be prepared to name the same side which impressed at St Andrew's, with Niall Huggins retaining his spot at left-back.

Defender Dan Ballard remains out of contention for the Black Cats as he continues his recovery from a foot injury.

桑德兰2-1米尔沃尔
考虑到比赛的间歇，这是一场很难预测的比赛。两支球队都急于发表声明，这可能会在长期的感觉，但主场优势可能是黑猫的关键，因为他们觉得这是一个机会，使自己回到竞争中。

尽管罗斯·斯图尔特正在努力从伤病中恢复，但这位俱乐部头号射手不太可能首发，因为他自8月以来一直缺阵。

如果不考虑健康问题，莫布雷可能会选择在圣安德鲁留下深刻印象的同一支球队，尼尔·哈金斯将保留他在左后卫的位置。

后卫丹·巴拉德仍然没有参加黑猫队的比赛，因为他还在继续从脚伤中恢复。
