Hull City host Sunderland at the MKM Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to return to winning ways for the first time in three games.
The Tigers are down in 21st position with 25 points from 22 games, having won only seven times in the campaign so far.
After starting their campaign with four unbeaten games, Hull lost six of their next seven, including five in a row, which ended Shota Arveladze's run as the head coach.
Liam Rosenior was instated as the new manager on 3 November, but things have hardly improved under him, with the Yorkshire outfit winning just once in four games in charge so far.
Sunderland have accrued just five points more than Hull City and sit in 11th place.
In their first season back in the Championship since the 2017-18 season, the Black Cats have struggled to hit peak form and have won two games in a row just once so far.
Alex Neil was sacked back in August for winning just two of their opening six games, but that move has hardly made a difference, with Tony Mowbray winning only six of his 16 games in charge so far.
