Sunderland are back in action this evening in Sky Bet League One as they take on Doncaster Rovers and go in search of another important three points for their promotion cause.

With a week left in the window, meanwhile, there is still time to add to the side if Phil Parkinson so wishes but one man that will not be joining by the looks of things now is Burton man Liam Boyce:
