Sam Allardyce opts against making any changes for the trip to Stoke City in the Premier League.

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has once more opted against making any changes for the trip to Stoke City in the Premier League.

The Black Cats field the same lineup that drew with Arsenal last time out and beat Norwich City before that as Jermain Defoe leads the line again.

In contrast, the hosting Potters make a total of five alterations to the side that suffered a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.

Jakob Haugaard replaces the injured Shay Given between the sticks as Jack Butland is still unavailable. Also coming in are Erik Pieters, Charlie Adam, Xherdan Shaqiri and Peter Crouch.

Stoke City: Haugaard, Bardsley, Cameron, Shawcross, Pieters, Whelan, Imbula, Shaqiri, Adam, Arnautovic, Crouch
Subs: Muniesa, Joselu, Diouf, Walters, Wollscheid, Krkic, Bachmann

Sunderland: Mannone, Yedlin, Kone, Kaboul, Van Aanholt, Kirchhoff, Borini, Cattermole, M'Vila, Khazri, Defoe
Subs: Jones, Larsson, Rodwell, N'Doye, Pickford, O'Shea, Watmore
