Sunderland give a Premier League debut to January signing Joecelin Ta Bi.
The 20-year-old winger, who joined from five-time Israeli champions Maccabi Netanya after a loan spell with Hapoel Petah Tikva, made his debut in Sunderland’s FA Cup win over Oxford United last Sunday.
He’s the only change from Sunderland’s last league game, a 1-0 loss to Liverpool, with Reinildo Mandava ruled out with a knee injury.
Sunderland XI: Roefs; Mukiele, Ballard, Alderete, Ta Bi; Sadiki, Le Fee; Hume, Diarra, Angulo; Brobbey.
Subs: Ellborg, Geertruida, Talbi, Rigg, Mayenda, O’Nien, Mundle, Isidor, Xhaka.
Fulham make just one change from their last Premier League match, a 3-0 loss to Manchester City.
Injury forces out Samuel Chukwueze so Kevin comes into the starting XI. Fulham’s last match was a 2-1 win over Championship outfit Stoke in the FA Cup.
Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Kevin; Jimenez.
Subs: Lecomte, Reed, Muniz, Cairney, Bobb, Cuenca, Castagne, King, Diop.
