Sunderland 2-1 Leicester City

Sunderland defender Papy Djilobodji is available after suspension and could replace John O'Shea.

Lynden Gooch faces a lengthy lay-off with an ankle problem but Jan Kirchhoff is back after a two-month absence because of a hamstring injury.

Leicester midfielder Nampalys Mendy could return from the ankle injury that has kept him out since August.

Ben Chilwell is also fit but Danny Drinkwater remains suspended and Kasper Schmeichel is out with a broken hand.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

Alan Green: "I admit I was even more surprised than most when Leicester became champions, so I did expect an adverse reaction this season.
