On-loan Manchester City striker Benjani Mwaruwari is ready to take his chance at Sunderland.

With Kenwyne Jones out injured, Benjani knows his big chance has arrived to make an impression at Sunderland.

The Sunderland Echo says manager Steve Bruce will resist any temptation to recall Martyn Waghorn from his loan spell at Leicester City and will instead hand Benjani his opportunity to shine alongside top scorer Darren Bent.
