Hull City, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Watford will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Hull City. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Watford's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Liam Rosenior will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. With no goals in 3 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground. Rosenior will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 12 games in a row.
Hull City will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at MKM Stadium, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Sunderland, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by West Bromwich Albion will have left the Sunderland squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. West Bromwich Albion had 10 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Sunderland recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Ross Stewart will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sunderland.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
The Black Cats will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Hull City, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 8 meetings between the two.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Sunderland hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings.
Hull City manager Liam Rosenior has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Vaughn Covil (Cruciate ligament), Allahyar Sayyadmanesh (Hamstring), Benjamin Tetteh (Hamstring) and Harvey Vale (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray ahead of this clash, with Leon Dajaku (Stomach) missing out, which gives Mowbray a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
