How can I watch Sunderland vs Doncaster, what time is kick off, who is in the teams?

Sunderland have made four changes for their key game against Doncaster.

The Black Cats take on Rovers at the Stadium of Light today looking to strike back following last weekend's defeat to Coventry.

League One hosts a full Good Friday and Easter Monday fixture list, with the Doncaster game moved for a later kick-off for TV coverage.

Lee Cattermole, Aiden McGeady, Jimmy Dunne and Alim Ozturk all start for Sunderland, with Jack Baldwin, Tom Flanagan, Will Grigg, Grant Leadbitter missing out.

With the games coming thick and fast - and Peterborough and Portsmouth to follow - it's another must-win game for Jack Ross' Black Cats .

He may well tweak his defence after shipping five to Coventry, but for once Sunderland have had almost a full week to prepare.

Doncaster are out to seal the final play-off spot - they currently have a five-point lead on Peterborough, although the Posh have a game in hand.
