Mick McCarthy has named a side with wantaway keeper Thomas Myhre between the sticks as Mart Poom prepares to undergo surgery on Wednesday. Gary Breen partners Steve Caldwell in central defence. Mickey Bridges again starts from the bench. George McCartney is also injured, so Arca fills in for him at left-back, with Darren Carter playing at left wing.
The Millers’ side includes former Sunderland players John Mullin and Michael Proctor, as well as newly-signed loan striker Junior.
Tonight’s referee is Dermot Gallagher.
Sunderland: Myhre, Wright, Breen, Caldwell, Arca, Whitehead, Robinson, Whitley, Carter, Stewart, Elliott. Subs: Alnwick, Lynch, Bridges, Collins, Brown.
