Where to watch Sunderland vs. Derby County live stream, channel, time, lineups, prediction for EFL match | Sporting News

Derby County have another mountain to climb on Tuesday night as they head to the Stadium of Light for a showdown with Sunderland in the Championship.

Sunderland, sitting pretty in second place behind West Brom, hit a bump in the road over the weekend with a 2-1 loss to Watford at Vicarage Road. The Black Cats have had a fantastic start to the season but will be eager to shake off that defeat.

Meanwhile, Derby will also be looking to dust themselves off after a tough 3-2 loss to Norwich at Pride Park, which controversially ended their perfect home run. Both teams will be desperate to bounce back.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Sunderland vs. Derby Count lineups, team news

Sunderland will be missing a trio of key players for Tuesday’s Championship clash, with Niall Huggins, Ali Alese, and Jenson Seelt sidelined due to injuries. There are also question marks over the availability of Eliezer Mayenda, Ahmed Abdullahi, Salis Abdul Samed, and Alan Browne.

Romaine Mundle has been the Black Cats’ go-to man in front of goal, netting three times in seven appearances, while Luke O’Nien has kicked off the season on the right foot with two goals and an assist to his name.

If Mayenda, who’s chipped in with two goals and two assists in six games, misses out, it would be a blow, but 17-year-old Chris Rigg, already turning heads at Manchester United, is ready to step up and keep things ticking in midfield.

Sunderland predicted XI 4-3-3, right to left): Patterson (GK) — Hume, Mepham, O’Nien, Cirkin — Rigg, Niel, Bellingham — Roberts, Isidor, Mundle.

Injured: Seelt, Huggins
Suspended: Hume

Derby County will head into Tuesday night’s match with a few key players warming the bench, as Tom Barkhuizen, Liam Thompson, David Ozoh, and Jake Rooney are all unavailable for selection.

On a brighter note, Kayden Jackson, who has found the back of the net twice in the Championship this season, will once again be in the starting lineup. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is also expected to feature prominently.

Head coach Paul Warne has a wealth of options at his disposal in the attacking department. Keep an eye on Blackett-Taylor, who made waves by scoring off the bench against Norwich—he might just be the ace up their sleeve

Derby County predicted XI (4-3-3 right to left): Widell Zetterstrom (GK) — Nyambe, Nelson, Cashin, Forsyth —Goudmijn, Osborn, Adams — Jackson, Yates, Mendez-Laing.

Injured: None
Suspended: None

Sunderland vs. Derby Count prediction
