Sunderland v Burnley

Jermain Defoe could feature for Sunderland despite speculation linking him with a move to West Ham.

Lamine Kone, Didier Ndong and Wahbi Khazri are all away on African Nations Cup duty but full-back Billy Jones could return after a one-match man.

The re-signed Joey Barton may play for Burnley as Clarets ring the changes.

Paul Robinson or Nick Pope will replace Tom Heaton in goal. Loanees Patrick Bamford (Chelsea) and John Flanagan (Liverpool) are both available.

MATCH FACTS

  • This will be Sunderland's first home game in the FA Cup since January 2015, while they're unbeaten in five in the competition on home soil (W4 D1).
