Hull City will host Sunderland at the MKM Stadium on Sunday afternoon in a Championship clash.
The Tigers suffered a 4-0 defeat to Norwich City before the international break, which halted their three-match winning streak. Currently sitting 13th in the table, Hull is eager to push for a top-six spot this season after narrowly missing out last year.
Meanwhile, Sunderland, under new manager Regis Le Bris, is eyeing promotion. They managed a draw against Leeds United in their last match and are keen to secure their place among the league’s top teams.
Heading into this fixture, the Black Cats are sitting pretty at the top of the Championship standings, level on points with second-placed Sheffield United. They will look to extend lead at the top with a win on Sunday.
