and live on Freeview channel 276

Only Luke O’Nien, Denis Cirkin and Bailey Wright keep their place as Sunderland aim to reach the Carabao Cup Fourth Round.

Here, we have summarised the very best social media reaction to this team news:
@HazzaM2002: Viva Dajaku!
@ColArmy86: Wonder if he'll use O'Brien a bit more in the league games too if does well again tonight
@ChristianLukeF1: O'Brien hat trick again please
@stephburt21: Happy he’s made changes. The league is our priority, hopefully he’ll do the same in the efl trophy games. #safc

@MattySunlun: Dajakuuuuu
@jxdsafc: DAJAKUUUUU
@Philip_RJ89: Sweeping changes indeed! No real gripes with this XI, but I hope that Bailey Wright is in better form tonight.
Plenty of good options from the bench, and it’ll be interesting to see what Dajaku & Broadhead can do from the start! #SAFC #CarabaoCup
@15jgilmore: Literally the team I would’ve started, perfect from Johnson IMO
