Team News: John O'Shea on bench for Sunderland

Sunderland captain John O'Shea starts the Premier League clash with Hull City on the bench this afternoon after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Steven Pienaar misses out for the hosts due to suspension, with Jason Denayer coming in to take his place in David Moyes's sole alteration from their victory over Bournemouth last time out - their first of the season.

Making his debut Premier League start for the visiting Tigers is Josh Tymon in one of three changes from Mike Phelan from their 2-1 victory over Southampton.

Robert Snodgrass and Dieumerci Mbokani also come into the lineup as Will Keane and Abel Hernandez are out injured, while Harry Maguire drops to the bench.
