Adil Aouchiche has proved he is ready to make an impact on Sunderland's Championship campaign - and Tony Mowbray expects the midfielder to start pushing for place in the starting XI in the weeks ahead. "He was going to play away at Leicester, he was going to start that game, but he picked up an injury and so we went again with Jobe. "The competition for Adil is as a number ten, I think. He's up to speed again and he's come on and scored for us [against Birmingham]. "Somewhere down the line, around the Christmas period when we have so many fixtures, he is going to be starting football matches.
