Hull v Sunderland (1400 GMT)

Sone Aluko and Yannick Sagbo are in line to lead the Hull attack, with January signings Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic both cup-tied. Maynor Figueroa is a doubt having had a gruelling friendly trip to Honduras in midweek, but otherwise there are no new injury concerns for the Tigers.

Sunderland midfielder Liam Bridcutt returns to the squad after the 24-year-old Scotland international was ineligible for the Capital One Cup final. Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood (shoulder) remains the only man on the long-term casualty list after undergoing shoulder surgery which is likely to rule him out for much of the remainder of the season.

Top goalcorers (all competitions): Robbie Brady (Hull) 4; Adam Johnson (Sunderland) 9
