Le Bris respects FA Cup history

REGIS Le Bris plans to pick a strong Sunderland side in the FA Cup at Everton.

- 

The Black Cats go into today's third round tie on Merseyside on the back of a 3-0 league defeat to Brentford on Wednesday, ending their five-game unbeaten run over the festive period which has seen the team play some games without six players on Africa Cup of Nations duty.

Asked about potential changes for the Everton match, Le Bris said: "New game, new energy. I think we want to go strong because we respect this competition and at the same time we'll have to manage the load of a few players.
