Sunderland's Best Starting XI For The 2015-16 Season

Despite Sunderland signing two new centre-backs in the summer, it is likely that O'Shea will keep his place in the Sunderland team, being the club captain. With a lot of experience and trophies to his name, it's hard to argue with Dick Advocaat. Sure, he's prone to the odd mistake, but who isn't? Who-ever he partners, they can be sure to receive a great deal of partnership and guidance from the Irish captain.
