Team News: Lee Cattermole returns for Sunderland

Lee Cattermole returns for Sunderland as the Black Cats' only change ahead of facing Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has made just one change to his starting lineup for the visit to Leicester City this afternoon.

Lee Cattermole comes in to replace Liam Bridcutt as the visitors' only change from the 1-1 draw with Everton last time out.

The combative midfielder joins Jordi Gomez, Sebastian Larsson, Adam Johnson and Connor Wickham, while Steven Fletcher spearheads the Black Cats' attack at the King Power Stadium.

Meanwhile, Foxes manager Nigel Pearson names two changes to his first XI from the 2-0 defeat to Southampton prior to the international break.

Paul Konchesky returns to line up at left-back, as Jeff Schlupp moves up to midfield to displace Andy King, while Riyad Mahrez comes in for Danny Drinkwater.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Wasilewski, Konchesky; Schlupp, Cambiasso, James, Mahrez; Vardy, Ulloa

Sunderland: Pantilimon; O'Shea, Brown, Vergini, Reveillere; Cattermole, Gomez, Larsson, Wickham, Johnson; Fletcher
