Preview: FA Cup - Peterborough vs. Sunderland

Sunderland are experiencing a number of injury woes ahead of their FA Cup meeting with Peterborough United this weekend.

Martin O'Neill travels to Peterborough for Sunderland's FA Cup third-round tie with a relatively depleted squad following a number of injuries.

The former Aston Villa boss has been quiet about his team selection for the cup match as he waits on defenders Wes Brown, Phil Bardsley and midfielder Jack Colback.

Black Cats striker Connor Wickham is also recovering from an injury, and goalkeeper Kieren Westwood and playmaker Sebastien Larsson missed Sunderland's 4-1 win over Wigan Athletic on Tuesday through illness.

Meanwhile, Peterborough and England Under-21s defender Ryan Bennett is due to start for the Posh side and could prove to be an obstacle for Sunderland's attack.

Current form:

Peterborough United: LDWWDD
Sunderland: WLWDWW

Possible lineups:

Peterborough United: Lewis; Alcock, Zakuani, Bennett, Rowe; Kearns, Wootton, Tunnicliffe, Boyd; Taylor, Sinclair

Sunderland: Mignolet; Gardner, O'Shea, Kilgallon, Richardson; Elmohamady, Vaughan, Cattermole, McClean; Sessengon, Ji

Sports Mole says: 0-2
