Both Sunderland and Hull City will be looking to climb back into the Championship play-off spots, at least temporarily, when the two sides lock horns at the Stadium of Light on Friday.
The Black Cats are a point off Hull despite losing 2-1 at Ipswich town last weekend, given that the Tigers also suffered a 1-2 league loss against Norwich City ahead of an FA Cup exit on account of a 2-1 defeat against Birmingham City.
