Edwards back in for Sunderland

Sunderland boss Roy Keane threw winger Carlos Edwards straight back into the heat of the 127th Wear-Tyne league derby on his return from injury.

The Trinidad and Tobago international, who has not played a senior game since tearing his hamstring at Birmingham on August 15, was joined in the starting line-up by defender Paul McShane on his return from suspension, Ross Wallace and former Newcastle striker Michael Chopra.
