Buckley hoping for new Sunderland chance

Will Buckley is chomping at the bit for more action with Sunderland.

Buckley made his debut against Manchester United last month when Adam Johnson was ill on the day of the game, but will be picked on merit this time.

And with Sunderland still seeking their first league win, he knows the importance of the Swans fixture and next Saturday's home game against Stoke.

"We definitely need to win at least one of these two," said Buckley.

"It's not been a bad start to the season but we have to get off the mark as quickly as possible.

"And getting that first league win will give every a big confidence boost."
