This will be the fourth pre-season outing for the Seasiders first-team, after losing 3-1 to AFC Fylde at Mill Farm, drawing 0-0 with Cadiz CF during their time in Spain, and beating West Brom 2-1 in a behind-closed-doors game earlier this week.
A number of players are yet to feature this summer due to a number of different reasons, but a couple could be set to be involved against the Black Cats.
There’s no bench limit for the fixture, meaning Neil Critchley will be able to experiment with his full squad.
Here’s our predicted XI and substitutes:
7. Albie Morgan
