Team News: Four changes as Sunderland host Bournemouth

Sunderland have made four changes from their midweek defeat at Middlesbrough as they prepare to host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.

Lamine Kone, Donald Love, Steven Pienaar and Fabio Borini come in for Jason Denayer, Billy Jones, Lee Cattermole and Darron Gibson.

Pienaar makes his first appearance since February 11, while 18-year-old midfielder Elliot Embleton is on the bench for the seemingly relegation-bound Black Cats.
