Sunderland prepare to entertain Hull City at The Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 4 of the 17 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Stadium of Light was less than a year ago, in April 2009, the The Black Cats carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides
Sunderland's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Black Cats have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Hull City is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the The Tigers have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Sunderland's 6 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Hull City find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 4 points from their 4 matches.
