The focus for the 3pm Premier League kick-offs is the fight for relegation, as Swansea can move four points clear of the drop with Hull to play on Sunday.
Middlesbrough were confirmed as a Championship side for next season on Monday, joining already-relegated Sunderland, leaving the Swans and Hull battling to avoid the final place.
A win for Swansea away to Sunderland will leave Hull needing a win to avoid relegation.
