Sunderland travel to Pride Park for their must win game against Derby County.
The game against Derby will be Sunderland`s best chance of winning their first away game this season.
Derby are without Giles Barnes, Claude Davis and Tyrone Mears
However Dean Leacock faces a late fitness test on his hip problem
He is always a handful and probably Derby`s only quality forward.
Roy Keane is still without Carlos Edwards and Danny Collins.
Edwards is still recovering from a broken leg and Collins is suspended.
Danny Higginbotham, Liam Miller and Kieran Richardson are all back in contention after recovering from their respective injuries.
He might look like he is carrying some extra weight but their nothing wrong with the weight of his passes should be a live wire from the off.
In our last six league games away to Derby we have Won 4, Draw 1 and Lost 1
Mike Riley
I`ll have to go for a 0-1 away win.
