Sunderland predicted lineup vs Huddersfield Town: Clarke suspended, who will replace him?

Jack Clarke picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Luton and will miss the trip to Huddersfield, but who will replace him in the starting lineup?

Huddersfield currently sit bottom of the championship on 15 points whilst Sunderland are 16th on 21 points. The Terriers won last time out against Millwall whilst Sunderland were held to a 1-1 draw at Luton.

Tony Mowbray has said that Ellis Simms isn’t ready to start games yet and Ross Stewart and Dan Ballard remain sidelined despite returning to training this week.
