Sunderland prepares for Carabao Cup fixture against Hull City

Sunderland faces Hull City in an upcoming Carabao Cup match as the club seeks a deep run in domestic competition. The team earned a bye into the third round of the tournament following its qualification for European play. Manager Régis Le Bris is expected to rotate the squad for the fixture, potentially providing increased minutes for U21 players and squad members who missed previous starts. While Sunderland also competes in the Europa League and Premier League, the club views this cup tie as a chance to balance player involvement. The match offers an opportunity to build on recent Wembley appearances, with the club having secured three wins in its last three visits to the stadium. Sunderland enters the contest with a deeper squad compared to the previous season.
