TEAM NEWS: Steven Fletcher STARTS for Sunderland in Gus Poyet's first game in charge
SUNDERLAND have been given a big boost with the news that Steven Fletcher will start against Swansea this afternoon.
The game marks Gus Poyet's first game in charge of the Black Cats since taking over from Paolo Di Canio.
Fletcher was initially ruled out for up to six weeks with a shoulder injury he sustained in the West Brom fixture in September.
And he has happy memories of this fixture having scored in a 2-2 draw against the Swans shortly after his £14m switch from Wolves.
TEAMS:
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Chico, Amat, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Michu, Dyer, Routledge, Bony
Sunderland: Westwood, Celustka, Bardsley, O'Shea, Roberge, Cattermole, Johnson, Larsson, Gardner, Giaccherini, Fletcher
