Sunderland head coach Régis Le Bris has confirmed that Alan Browne will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s match against Preston North End at Deepdale. Browne, who played the full 90 minutes in Sunderland’s last game against QPR, steps in as 17-year-old Chris Rigg is sidelined due to a chest issue. Le Bris expressed confidence in Browne’s ability to perform against his former club, emphasizing his experience and leadership qualities.

Discussing the upcoming challenge, Le Bris highlighted the competitiveness of the Championship, stating that even teams at the bottom of the table pose threats. He noted that Preston North End will not be passive, showcasing their intensity and effective man-for-man marking. Le Bris stressed the need for Sunderland to learn from past matches and improve on specific aspects of their game, such as goal-kick restarts and building play under pressure.

Regarding his tactical approach, Le Bris dismissed the possibility of switching to a five-at-the-back formation, preferring to stick with the solid structure they’ve built. He believes in maintaining consistency while being adaptable when necessary, focusing on further developing the team’s references and making improvements as the season progresses.

How Danny Rohl’s Sheffield Wednesday Transforms from Xisco Muñoz’s Struggles: A Season-to-Season Comparison

Sheffield Wednesday has established a clear playing identity under head coach Danny Röhl, despite not consistently achieving the results needed to climb the Championship standings. Röhl has effectively communicated his tactical approach to the squad, and his influence is becoming evident in their performances. He has also identified a preferred starting eleven, which is likely to be utilized throughout the season—a feat that his predecessor, Xisco Muñoz, struggled to accomplish.

Although expectations were high for Röhl to lead the Owls to a rapid rise in the league, this turnaround has not yet occurred. However, there are encouraging signs that the team is beginning to find its rhythm in the 2024/25 Championship campaign, suggesting that a positive shift may be on the horizon.
