Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink will be missing for Hull City with a head injury, while Sunderland are without centre half John Mensah.
Mensah suffered a hamstring injury in Sunderland's last match and is likely to be replaced by Anton Ferdinand.
Lorik Cana comes back into contention after a groin strain, but fellow midfielder Lee Cattermole is definitely out with a calf injury.? Jordan Henderson is likely to start in place of Cattermole.
Ex-Hull City players Michael Turner and Fraizer Campbell are both expected to start for Steve Bruce's side against their former club.
Hull City coach Iain Dowie will replace the injured Vennegoor of Hesselink with Jozy Altidore, although Brazilian Geovanni is pushing for a starting place as well.
Craig Fagan is set to keep his place upfront with few other changes from the side that lost 2-0 last time out.
