Sunderland's Kieran Richardson returns to the bench after
recovering from the hamstring injury he suffered last month.
Striker Fraizer Campbell and midfielder David Meyler are still
absent, but winger Ahmed Elmohamady has recovered from a foot
problem.

is not yet ready to make a return from the shoulder injury that has

a thigh problem, also misses out.
