Sunderland team news at Valley Parade and how to watch the Bradford City friendly

REGIS Le Bris has made major changes to his Sunderland squad for tonight’s game at Bradford City.

It’s a crucial night for several fringe players who will be desperate to get the head coach’s attention.

Simon Moore starts in goal for the Black Cats with Timothee Pembele, Leo Hjelde, Zak Johnson and Joe Anderson in defence. Chris Rigg starts in midfield alongside Elliot Embleton and Adil Aouchiche, with Abdoullah Ba making his first appearance of the summer and Romaine Mundle flanking Nazariy Rusyn.

Hemir is on the bench, as is Tommy Watson.
