Sunderland face a crucial bottom of the table clash at home to Hull City on Saturday in the knowledge that a win is the only outcome capable of satisfying their anxious supporters. While it is far too early in the Premier League season for one match to decide any team's fate, the significance of the game is lost on nobody.
Banished to the stands after an outburst during Sunderland's EFL Cup defeat at Southampton on Oct. 26, manager David Moyes saw his side's first league win of the season 10 days later, with goals from Victor Anichebe and Jermain Defoe sealing victory at Bournemouth.
