History of the Hull City v Manchester United fixture

Hull City play host to Manchester United at The KC Stadium on Sunday afternoon,

The last time the two teams met at Hull City was amazingly over twenty years ago, in October 1987, with Man. Utd. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the The Tigers in a League Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Hull City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Tigers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Man. Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Red Devils, and 4 goals against.

Hull City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 35 points from 37 matches. Man. Utd. are currently sitting proudly at the top of the entire league, having collected 87 points from the 37 games played.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Tigers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Red Devils come away with an easy victory. Away win

Failed to win in previous 5 home matches.
Not won in the 10 most recent games.
