#2 Relegation battlers suffer demoralising losses
Sunderland and Hull are gathering an unwanted reputation of being the whipping boys of the league. The Black Cats are yet to win a game this season and have only managed two points from their opening 10 games. David Moyes will be feeling the pressure as he looks to improve a demoralised team.
The former Manchester United manager will know that Sunderland must start gathering points quickly if they are to avoid the drop this season.
Mike Phelan’s Hull City are on a poor run of form themselves and are without a victory in their last eight games. The Tigers have also lost in each of their last six league games, shipping in 18 goals during that time as well. A narrow loss to Watford will hurt the Tigers, who are now in 18th position with seven points to their name.
Bob Bradley tasted defeat for the first time since becoming Swansea manger after his team were beaten at Stoke 3-1. The Swans only managed victory on the opening week of the season and have struggled ever since. They are currently only three points off the bottom of the table, with five points to their name.
