Sunderland take on Everton

Sunderland boss Peter Reid granted Scottish international Kevin Kyle his wish when he threw him into the starting line-up for this afternoon’s Premiership clash with Everton at the Stadium of Light.

The 21-year-old was named alongside Kevin Phillips in attack as the Black Cats looked for their first win of the season, with midfielder Kevin Kilbane making way from the side which drew 0-0 at Blackburn last weekend.
