Sunderland boss Régis Le Bris is set to give captain Dan Neil a well-earned break over the Easter weekend, marking a rare pause in the midfielder’s relentless run of appearances this season. Despite already securing a play-off spot, Neil has remained ever-present in the starting line-up, but that’s expected to change as Le Bris looks to rotate his squad and preserve key players for the upcoming semi-finals. With two games in just four days, the head coach emphasized the importance of managing minutes — not just for Neil, but also for other mainstays like Trai Hume, even as limited defensive options pose a challenge.

Hull City on the Brink: 20th Place, 45 Points—Can They Hold On, or Will the Drop Loom?

With only two games left against Derby County and Portsmouth, Hull City seems poised to secure their Championship status for next season—assuming they can win both matches. However, the road to survival is never simple, and many Tigers fans are eager for the team to seal their fate before the final weeks of the season.

Hull’s next challenge comes over the Easter weekend, with a trip to Swansea, who still have outside hopes of reaching the top six, followed by a home match against Preston North End, a side that has struggled on the road. While Hull has often shown the quality needed to avoid relegation, recent form—just one win in their last five—has raised some concerns.

Despite this, Hull’s solid defensive record and superior goal difference give them a crucial advantage over the teams around them, making it likely they’ll gather enough points to stay clear of danger before the season’s end.
