Gillingham entertain Sunderland today as they go looking for their fourth Championship win of the season.

Leon Johnson comes in at centre-back after Barry Ashby, who is suffering from a knee injury.

But John Hills passed a late fitness test and will start at left-back.

Sunderland will be looking for an improvement to their season, after winning just one of their first six matches.

Gilllingham: Banks, Hills, Johnson, Hope, Cox, Spiller, Smith, Hessenthaler, Jarvis, Roberts, Byfield.
