Sunderland have lost just one of their last 12 league games against Hull City (W5 D6), though that sole defeat came in this exact fixture last season (1-0).

Hull City are unbeaten across their last three away league games against Sunderland (W1 D2), since a 1-0 defeat at the Stadium of Light in January 2018.

Sunderland suffered only their fifth league defeat of the season last time out to Leeds in a 2-1 loss at Elland Road. It was only their second loss of the season when scoring first, along with their 3-2 defeat at Plymouth in September.

Since his first Championship start for Hull on 21 January, Joe Gelhardt leads all his teammates for shots (13), dribbles (23), duels won (30), ball carry distance (708.7m), expected goals (1.2) and he has created the joint most chances in open play (5).

Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor has scored or assisted in each of his last five Championship appearances (4 goals, 1 assist). He is yet to score more than once in a game this season, with his 12 goals the most by a Black Cats player in a league season without doing so since David Connolly netted 13 in 2006-07.
