Hull City boss Steve Bruce

ITV viewers will see Steve Bruce reunited with Sunderland when Hull City host the Black Cats in The FA Cup Sixth Round on Sunday 9 March at 1.30pm.

Bruce departed the Stadium of Light in 2011 after a two year spell in charge at the Premier League club.

His Hull City side saw off Brighton & Hove Albion by 2-1 in a Fifth Round replay at the KC Stadium on Monday night thanks to first half goals from Curtis Davies and Robert Koren.

Leonardo Ulloa pulled one back for the Seagulls with just over 20 minutes remaining but it wasn’t enough for the Championship side.

Brighton were just five minutes away from the last eight last week, before Yannick Sagbo’s close range strike on the South Coast forced a replay.

Victory for Sunderland in the quarter final will mean yet another trip to Wembley Stadium for Gus Poyet’s charges.

The north-east side meet Manchester City in the League Cup Final this Sunday after previosuly beating Southampton by 1-0 in the FA Cup Fifth Round Proper.

Both Hull City and Sunderland will receive £247,500 from The FA in live broadcast fees while the winning team will get £360,000 from The FA Cup prize fund.
