Sunderland supporters are looking forward to seeing new signing Jewison Bennette in action against Reading after the new arrival was named amongst the substitutes. The Costa Rican international could get his first taste of Championship football this evening.
The Black Cats are looking to bounce back from defeat last time out against Middlesbrough. A win could lift the Wearsiders back into the Championship play-off places if results go their way.
Tony Mowbray made one change from the side that lost against Boro - Aji Alese coming into the side for Dennis Cirkin.

Here's what Sunderland supporters had to say on the team news to face Reading:
@JoeThirlwell1 said: "Impossible to call how this team is going to set up/play tonight. 4-3-3? 3-4-3 with two 10’s? Wright not on the bench probably means he’s injured or he starts ahead of Alese for me. Haway the lads!"
@Philip_RJ89 tweeted: "Great chance for Aji Alese to make an impression, and it’s a good opportunity for Patrick Roberts to show his class as well. Twenty minutes for Jewison Bennette towards the end, perhaps? I’m going 2-1 to us."
@kscshirts said: "Bennette on the bench already 1-0 up in my opinion."
@mrmagoo_199 said: "Haway bring all 3 points home please. Put on a good display like you usually do and will have no complaints win lose or draw."
@ClaughanAnthony tweeted: "I really want Bennette to be a good signing hope he gets a chance tonight and plays well. But it might take him a few games to get used to our system hope people understand that and not get on his back if he makes a few mistakes."
