Hull can move five points clear of the bottom three as Swansea City are not in action until the evening against Everton, but Niasse and his head coach believe Sunderland could pose a greater threat now that their relegation has been confirmed.
"They know they have been relegated and that could mean they come here more relaxed and free to play without pressure," says Niasse. "It is always difficult to play against a team that has nothing to lose."
