Three changes: Régis Le Bris's Sunderland XI to face Manchester City predicted | OneFootball

Sunderland return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon at Manchester City, with Régis Le Bris weighing up selection calls after a demanding week. According to Sunderland Echo, the likely XI features three changes and includes Robin Roefs, Nordi Mukiele, Kevin Danso and Dan Ballard.

Roefs impressed in midweek and could need to be at his very best again if Sunderland are to take anything from the Etihad.

Danso’s strong start in a Sunderland shirt has allowed Mukiele to revert to right-back, a role central to Le Bris’s defensive and attacking plans.

Danso has made an accomplished beginning to his Sunderland career and it would be a surprise if he did not keep his place. He is quickly becoming a fan favourite.

Ballard dropped out of the XI in midweek to manage his workload, then had a positive impact from the bench. It would be a major shock if he did not return to the starting line-up.
