SUNDERLAND v Liverpool: Kieran Richardson suspended for Reds test
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce will be without Kieran Richardson through suspension for the Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool.
The former Manchester United midfielder, who has been playing at left-back in recent weeks, was sent off for a second bookable offence during the 2-2 draw at Manchester United a fortnight ago and must serve a one-match ban.

However, Northern Ireland international George McCartney, the club's only specialist left-back, is fit, while Lee Cattermole (heel) and John Mensah (calf) are also available.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Fulop, Bardsley, McCartney, Ferdinand, Turner, Nosworthy, Da Silva, Mensah, Cana, Cattermole, Reid, Malbranque, Henderson, Zenden, Bent, Jones, Campbell, Murphy, Healy.
