Hello everyone. Welcome to LIVE text commentary of this FA Cup quarter-final between Hull City and Sunderland. Team news to follow in a few moments...

Figueroa hits the bar! The defender didn't know much about it as he swung a cross in from the left, which sailed over Ustari and grazed the bar.

Sunderland have started brightly as Giaccherini cuts in from the left but is penalised for a foul.

It's a beautiful, sunny day in East Yorkshire and the home fans are creating a great atmophere here.

KICK OFF. We're underway at the KC.

The players are out and we're ready to go at the KC Stadium...

One month ago, Hull completed the league double over Sunderland with a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light after winning 1-0 at the KC Stadium earlier in the season. Hull City have kept just two clean sheets in their last 14 FA Cup matches.

A few pre-match stats for you... Sunderland have not won four FA Cup matches in a row since they won the final in 1973. Furthermore, the Black Cats have won just two of their last 31 away FA Cup games against a team from the top division (W2 D11 L18).

Gus Poyet: "The players did fantastically well to get to the Capital One Cup final at Wembley. And we mustn’t forget that we are still in the FA Cup, too. We play at Hull this weekend, and a win there will see us back at Wembley once again. I’m told that no manager has taken Sunderland to Wembley twice in a season, so to have a chance to do that would be very special."

Steve Bruce: "As a player, I led a team out and lifted a trophy at Wembley and those are the things that stay with you forever. As a manager I've never been past the quarter-finals of this competition, so a Wembley semi-final would be a first for me."
