Hull City-Sunderland Preview (The Associated Press)

There is a glimmer of hope for both Sunderland and Hull City in their battle to avoid relegation. The struggling sides meet at the Stadium of Light on Saturday in a match that already feels like it could be pivotal in deciding the make-up of the Premier League's bottom three come May. Hull (3-1-7) ended a run of eight games without a league win when they eked out a 2-1 victory over Southampton in their final match before the recent international break.
