The confirmed Sunderland and Hull City team news out with eight ruled out – gallery
Sunderland are looking to bounce back from their defeat to Leeds United tomorrow
It’s a big game at both ends of the Championship table as Sunderland welcome Hull City to the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Hull City remain firmly in relegation trouble, but strengthened considerably in the January window and have shown signs of improvement away from home in particular under new boss Ruben Selles. Both head coaches have a number of decisions to make – here’s the team news as we have it a day out from the game…

Watson is expected to return to full training next week. While the Sheffield Wednesday game might come to soon for him to play a major part, he is closing in on a return and will be back early next month. | Sunderland player Tommy Watson
