The Black Cats are just two points off the play-offs with four league games remaining, and would move into the top six with a win - due to other teams playing a day later.
Sunderland will be without Dennis Cirkin, who is suspended following his red card against Birmingham, while several players remain sidelined due to injuries.
Ross Stewart, Aji Alese, Corry Evans, Elliot Embleton, Jewison Bennette and Dan Ballard will all be unavailable for the Huddersfield fixture.
