Accrington vs Sunderland team selector: How many changes would you make after Wembley?

It's been 17 days since Sunderland were last in League One action - but the big run-in begins tonight.

While 85,000 fans watched the Black Cats' Checkatrade Trophy final defeat at Wembley, there will be around 5000 at Accrington's Wham Stadium tonight - and there will be some changes on the pitch too.

George Honeyman serves the final match of his three-game suspension tonight, meaning Jack Ross will have to make at least one change in the North West.

There are other injury concerns too.

Reece James had to come off at Wembley and, with the games coming thick and fast, Denver Hume is tipped to start at left-back at Accrington, while Sunderland are looking to manage striker Will Grigg's ongoing ankle problem.

Adam Matthews, Duncan Watmore and Chris Maguire are all ruled out, leaving Ross with some decisions to make.

And here's your chance to give him a hand.

What Black Cats XI would you send out tonight? Would you give Charlie Wyke a chance up front in order to rest Grigg, and who comes in for Honeyman? Max Power has deputised in recent games but would you change things?

Pick your Sunderland side to face Accrington below, and see how it compares with the most popular XI.

Sunderland's Wembley woe will not impact their promotion campaign, says Jack Ross
