FA Cup: Burnley v Sunderland preview


Burnley v Sunderland preview

Sunderland boss David Moyes has few fresh options ahead of Tuesday night's FA Cup third-round replay at Burnley.


Full-back Billy Jones was an unused substitute for Saturday's 3-1 Premier League defeat by Stoke after recovering from a hamstring problem and could feature, but midfielder Steven Pienaar (calf) and striker Victor Anichebe (hamstring) remain doubts.

Moyes is yet to decide whether he will throw any of his young players in at the deep end, and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defender Jan Kirchhoff, midfielder Paddy McNair and striker Duncan Watmore (all knee), as well as midfielders Lee Cattermole (hip) and Lynden Gooch (ankle), are still sidelined.

Scott Arfield and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are set to miss out for Burnley.

Both players picked up hamstring injuries in the first game at the Stadium of Light and despite making good progress neither player is likely to be risked.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche is set to make a number of changes with Nick Pope once again likely to be given a start in place of Tom Heaton in goal.

Teams:

Burnley (from): Heaton, Pope, Robinson, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Darikwa, Ward, Barton, Boyd, Hendrick, Vokes, Gray, Barnes, O'Neill, Kightly, Defour, Tarkowski.

Sunderland (from): Mannone, Mika, Jones, Manquillo, Van Aanholt, Love, O'Shea, Djilobodji, Ledger, Denayer, Rodwell, Larsson, Borini, Januzaj, Honeyman, E. Robson, Embleton, Defoe, Asoro, Maja.
