'Haway!': Sunderland fans praise Phil Parkinson's bold selection call against Fleetwood Town
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Black Cats are unchanged from the side that beat Bristol Rovers on Saturday afternoon, with Alim Ozturk retaining his place in the starting line-up after he replaced the injured Bailey Wright at the weekend.
George Dobson meanwhile, who is one booking away from a two-game suspension, is also handed a start as Parkinson makes the bold cold to stick with the same side despite a hectic run of fixtures.
