Sunderland line up in a 4-4-2 with Brian Bobbey and Eliezer Mayenda forming a strike partnership and Noah Sadiki anchoring midfield. Broadcasters list Sunderland alternatively as a 4-2-3-1 with Hume in midfield and Mayenda on the right. Chemsdine Talbi and Habib Diarra return from AFCON duty to the bench. A Sadiki volley tested Areola early in the game. West Ham have Callum Wilson named on the bench, Lucas Paqueta absent amid transfer links to Flamengo, and reported verbal agreement to sign Adama Traore from Fulham. Sunderland beat West Ham 3-0 in August.
