Sunderland begin their Carabao Cup campaign with a second-round clash against Huddersfield Town.
Regis Le Bris’ side welcome The Terriers to the Stadium Light, seeking to bounce back from defeat at Burnley in the Premier League over the weekend. The Black Cats are set to make several changes to that side, as Le Bris looks to hand opportunities to other members of his squad.
Changes are expected in the Sunderland side, with summer arrival Marc Guiu pushing for his first start. The Spaniard has signed on loan from Chelsea and will be eager to make an impression.
Anthony Patterson could return in goal after being ousted by new signing Robin Roefs in the Premier League, while fellow promotion hero Dan Neil will hope to reclaim a spot in midfield. The home side will be without defender Dan Ballard after his withdrawal at Burnley through injury.
Sunderland predicted XI: Patterson; Pembele, Seelt, Alderete, Masuaku; Le Fee, Neil, Sadiki; Talbi, Guiu, Adingra.
Sunderland host Huddersfield in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday 26th August 2025. Kick-off in the North East is 19:45 BST.
Sunderland v Huddersfield will be available to watch live in the UK on Sky Sports+.
