Sunderland travel to Turf Moor on Saturday, aiming to build on their spectacular start to the Premier League season.
After a stunning 3-0 victory over West Ham, Régis Le Bris’s side are full of confidence. This clash against a fellow promoted team provides the perfect opportunity to prove that their opening-day performance was no fluke.
Sunderland XI vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news
Sunderland team news
Régis Le Bris has been handed a major fitness boost, as centre-back Jenson Seelt has been passed fit after an injury scare last weekend. Consequently, Le Bris is expected to name an unchanged starting eleven from the side that so convincingly beat West Ham.
The manager does have a decision to make regarding the new signing Nordi Mukiele. While the versatile defender from PSG is in contention for a debut, Le Bris may choose to wait for Tuesday’s cup tie to integrate him, given the impressive performance of the established backline last week.
