16:00 Sunderland – Hull

The Black Cats won 1-0 against one of their biggest rivals in this league on Dec. 20 (Newcastle United F.C. – A.F.C. Sunderland 0-1 on 21.12.2014) and now the hosts will try to take their first victory at “Stadium of Light” since the beginning of October.

In the matter of fact, A.F.C. Sunderland is not among the teams with the best home records in Premiership (1-6-2 9-12), but it should be noted, that six of their previous nine games here were against teams, that are currently at Top 7 in this league.

Anthony Reveillere (defender) and Connor Wickham (striker / 2 goals) are the only two players, who will miss the upcoming match against Hill City F.C. for the home team.

The Tigers are still in the relegation zone (19th position), with only two victories in the previous seventeen rounds (2-7-8 15-24) and without a single win in the last ten rounds (0-4-6 4-13).

Hull City F.C. is the team with small resources and now the visitors will be weakened by the absence of important players like Michael Dawson (defender), Curtis Davies (defender), Mohamed Diame (midfielder / 4 goals), Tom Huddlestone (midfielder) and Jake Livermore (midfielder / 1 goal).

The Black Cats have won four of the previous five games between these two teams at “Stadium of Light” (4-0-1 11-5 / all competitions).
