Bet Builder Tips: A 20/1 punt for Sheff Utd v Sunderland (Paddy Power News)

LUKE O'NIEN and Elliot Embleton return to Sunderland's starting line-up for this evening's Championship game at Sheffield United.

Embleton replaces Corry Evans in midfield, having also been a substitute in Saturday's game at the Stadium of Light. Alex Neil is sticking with his 3-5-2 formation at Bramall Lane, which will mean O'Nien playing alongside Danny Batth and Dennis Cirkin in the backline.

Andy's Player Ratings: Sheff Utd 2-1 Sunderland - Battling ten-man ... (Roker Report)

Despite playing most of the game with ten men, Sunderland battled hard but ultimately lost away at promotion favourites Sheffield United.

I was leaning towards Gooch or even Matete before Patterson showed his class late on to keep the score down to two. Jack Diamond: 6/10 Gave us a bit of bite and drive that we had been missing while down to 10.
