Regis Le Bris hints at major Sunderland changes for Hull, Carabao Cup XI predicted | OneFootball

Régis Le Bris has signalled a much-rotated Sunderland side for the Carabao Cup tie against Hull City on Tuesday.

According to Sunderland Echo, the head coach has hinted at making nine or 10 changes after Saturday’s Premier League draw at Brentford.

Goalkeeper Melker Ellborg is expected to replace Robin Roefs, with the cup likely to provide competitive minutes for the second choice. He should start behind a changed defence.

Trai Hume, who dropped out of the XI at Brentford before coming on, could return at right-back to add some familiarity. His energy should help down the right.

Dayann Methalie should start, with Le Bris having already indicated as much. The summer signing returned from suspension to make the bench at Brentford and is now in line for his Sunderland debut, expected to operate at left-back.

Omar Alderete is another candidate for minutes after slipping down the pecking order. The centre-back would add experience and physicality against Championship opponents, and this represents a useful chance to push his claims.
