Hull City face already relegated Sunderland in a crucial Premier League clash this afternoon.

Hull City host Sunderland in an absolutely crucial game for their Premier League survival hopes.

The Tigers are currently two points clear of the drop zone and will be hoping that their sensational home form since Marco Silva took charge sees them across the line, starting with a victory in the clash against the Black Cats.

David Moyes’ men’s relegation was finally confirmed last weekend, so it would hardly be a surprise if the club’s attention is already on the summer rather than today’s game at the KCOM Stadium.

Silva will surely be instructing his players to not take Sunderland lightly however, as a victory would see Hull take one major step towards survival, and with a game against potentially title-chasing Tottenham coming up on the final day, not picking up three points today could prove extremely costly.

Here is a look at how the two sides line up this afternoon…
