Régis Le Bris's Sunderland XI and bench to face Everton predicted | OneFootball

Sunderland resume Premier League action against Everton on Sunday, with Régis Le Bris weighing up his line-up after a strong showing at Manchester United.

According to Sunderland Echo, it is a crucial fixture in the top-half race, with both sides holding an outside chance of Europe if they finish strongly. Le Bris has a deep squad available, so difficult choices await over his XI and bench.

In goal, Robin Roefs could keep his place after a valuable clean sheet and a sharp late save last week, and he will hope to carry that momentum.

At right back, Lutsharel Geertruida may be set for a summer exit, but last week's selection underlined Le Bris's focus on the present. As one of Sunderland's standout performers, he has likely done enough to keep his place.

Nordi Mukiele is ideally used at right back, yet last week's reshuffle in Ballard's absence worked, and he is comfortable at centre back, so he seems likely to continue there. Alongside him, Omar Alderete has been a near automatic pick this season, and after a clean sheet last time out that appears unlikely to change.
