Sunderland aims to achieve a third consecutive win by hosting Everton, who seek to end a run of two defeats.
A win for Sunderland would move them to second in the Premier League, while a point would place them fourth. Everton, on the other hand, would rise to 12th with a win, seven points above the relegation zone.
Regis Le Bris' side comes into this match following a 2-0 home win over Wolves and a 2-1 triumph at Chelsea on October 25. Meanwhile, Everton suffered a 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham.
Sunderland's lineup remains unchanged, with winger Romaine Mundle out due to a hamstring issue and defenders Dennis Cirkin, Leo Hjelde, and Aji Alese also remaining out due to injuries.
