Should Kimpioka start? Pick your Sunderland side to face Burton at the Stadium of Light

Sunderland will face Burton at the Stadium of Light this week knowing that they need to find the key to their goalscoring issues if they are to get back to winning ways.

Strikers Charlie Wyke and Marc McNulty are ruled out of the game against Nigel Clough's side, meaning manager Phil Parkinson has only Will Grigg and Benji Kimpioka to choose from as out-and-out strikers.

While the likes of Chris Maguire and Duncan Watmore can play up front, the question is whether Parkinson will turn to Saturday's goal hero Kimpioka to replace the misfiring Grigg against Burton.

George Dobson is suspended, with Dylan McGeouch pushing for a start. Sunderland went for three central midfielders against Coventry, but should they change their system again?

Jordan Willis has been passed fit, however, so should be able to start alongside Joel Lynch in defence, despite coming off early in the 1-1 draw with the Sky Blues at the weekend.
