Hull look to extend their five match unbeaten run against managerless Sunderland on Saturday at the Kingston Communications Stadium.

Both teams had a successful outing last time out, with Sunderland collecting all three points at home to relegation favourites West Brom, whilst Hull were once again defying the odds at Anfield, taking a point from leaders Liverpool.

Hull will be without Craig Fagan, injury-prone Anthony Gardner and striker Caleb Folan. Paul McShane is ineligible as part of his loan deal from Sunderland, and will therefore miss out.

Craig Gordon remains a doubt for Sunderland, whilst George McCartney, Russell Anderson and Darren Ward are out with long-term injuries.

Possible line-ups
Hull: Myhill, Ricketts, Turner, Zayatte, Dawson, Mendy, Boateng, Ashbee, Barmby, King, Geovanni

Sunderland: Fulop, Bardsley, Nosworthy, Ferdinand, Collins, Malbranque, Reid, Tainio, Richardson, Jones, Cisse

One to Watch
Michael Turner (Hull) - Linked all week with moves away from the club, he will look to keep Jones and Cisse quiet at one end, whilst causing problems for the Sunderland defence from set pieces at the other.

Betting Tip
First Goalscorer: Michael Turner (18/1 - bet365)

Prediction
Hull City 2 Sunderland 1
