Team News

Sunderland
Hull
  • No changes are expected from Regis Le Bris this weekend despite losing 2-1 against promotion rivals Leeds.
  • Alan Browne and Romaine Mundle are both available for selection after returning from lengthy injury lay-offs.
  • January signing Jayden Danns is among four confirmed absentees in the Sunderland camp this weekend.
  • Attacking midfielder Kasey Palmer and centre-back Charlie Hughes have both returned to training this week, but won't be fit enough to travel to the Stadium of Light.
  • Ruben Selles could make two attacking changes on Saturday with Abu Kamara and Kyle Joseph returning to the starting XI.
  • Louie Barry was withdrawn after just 58 minutes against Norwich but should keep his place in the line-up here.

Prediction

  • Sunderland were dealt a crushing blow against league leaders Leeds on Monday night as a 94th-minute Pascal Struijk goal condemned them to a 2-1 away defeat. Victories for both of the top two sides mean that Regis Le Bris' men are now eight points off the pace in the battle for automatic promotion.
  • Hull took an early lead against Norwich last time out thanks to Matt Crooks' opener, but Josh Sargent scored just two minutes into the second half as the spoils were shared at the MKM Stadium. Ruben Selles' side remain mired in a relegation battle and have won just one of their last 14 games against Sunderland in all competitions.
