Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has made two changes to the side that were beaten 2-0 by Blackburn Rovers for today's clash with Burnley. Trai Hume has replaced the injured Ajibola-Joshua Alese, while Amad Diallo has come in for Patrick Roberts in attack, who is not even on the bench this afternoon.
The Black Cats will be looking to return to winning ways after their defeat at Ewood Park on Tuesday, and welcome Vincent Kompany's Burnley side to the Stadium of Light. Burnley sit third in the Championship after just one defeat in their opening 15 matches since relegation.
With a couple of alterations in the Sunderland line-up, here is how the fans have reacted.

@redman_aiden: "What does Ba have to do?"
@AdamSAFC29: "He's made some changes, this is quite refreshing. Just seen Roberts not even on the bench, gonna cry."
@smallbone66: "Same midfield three that offer nothing week in week out!"
@ste1984r: "Ba or Matete over Dan Neil! And Embleton needs dropping as well!"
@xAN7H: "What's Ba and Jewi got to do to get in the starting XI?"
@davis0688: "Gooch not making it. Think Wright's days are numbered. As poor as he was Tuesday assume Roberts has a knock to not make the squad. Would have Ba in for Neil."
@simonraper1: "Difficult game today, need improved performances from Embleton, Neil and Pritchard."
