Former Leeds goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

Look at those 44,000 at the Stadium of Light for that game against Dinamo Zagreb and you can understand their frustration.

The Premier League is the right place for Sunderland and Regis le Bris has taken them back there. I think he has enough credit in the bank at the moment, although there are murmurings which naturally come.

If he is not to be the manager, then who is? What's the next plan of action? I think at the moment he has got enough credit in the bank, they have got Villa, Spurs, Liverpool and then the Newcastle derby.

After that Newcastle game, if we are still having a similar conversation, then that is when the manager's future comes into question.

Regis Le Bris makes two changes from Sunderland's defeat at Coventry City last weekend.

Returning defender Nordi Mukiele and forward Chemsdine Talbi come into the side for midfielder Chris Rigg and attacker Nilson Angulo.

There are seven changes from the starting line-up that lost 2-0 at home to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League in midweek.

Sunderland XI: Roefs, Meunier, Mukiele, O'Nein, Reinildo, Xhaka, Hume, Le Fee, Talbi, Brobbey.

Subs: Ellborg, Danso, Methalie, Rigg, Tutierov, Ahoka, Fofana, Angulo, Isador

Xabi Alonso makes two changes for Chelsea, with Pep Chavarria and Jordan Henderson coming into the starting line-up.

Estevao Willian drops to the bench after an impressive display in the 2-0 home win over Manchester United last weekend, while Josh Acheampong is a surprise absence from the squad.

Goalkeeper Mike Penders continues despite Emiliano Martinez having a protective mask fitted and pushing for a return at the Stadium of Light.

Chelsea XI: Penders, Palestra, Fofana, Colwill, Chavarria, Henderson, Lavia, Caicedo, Neto, Palmer, Rogers.

Subs: Sharman-Lowe, Gusto, Anselmino, Nicoll-Jazuli, Barco, Quenda, Estevao, Welbeck, Emegha.

Another tantalising day of Premier League football awaits...
