Hull City form

After Liam Rosenior was appointed as manager in November of last year, Hull City completed the 2022-23 Championship season in 15th place, earning 58 points from their 46 matches. With their sights set on improvement, the team prepared for their first full campaign under Rosenior's leadership. On the opening day of the season, the Tigers faced a challenging trip to Norwich City. Despite the difficulty, they made a strong start as Liam Delap took advantage of a defensive mistake and scored within the first 20 minutes at Carrow Road. However, just before half time, Jon Rowe equalized for Norwich, leaving the teams level at the break. In the 96th minute, Adam Idah scored the winning goal for Norwich, leading to the Tigers' manager being sent off for protesting the result. After the disappointment of their opening match, Hull City hosted Yorkshire rivals Doncaster Rovers at the MKM Stadium in the first round of the EFL Cup. Once again, they took an early lead as Oscar Estupinan scored in the third minute. However, they were unable to maintain their advantage and suffered a more concerning defeat as George Miller scored twice, including the decisive goal in the 60th minute. With their confidence shaken from the previous two fixtures, Hull City will aim to gather positive momentum and secure their first points of the Championship season in their upcoming match on Saturday.

Ingram; Coyle, Jones, Greaves, Vinagre; Traore, Seri, Tufan, Connolly; Estupinan, Delap

Sheffield Wednesday, who returned to the Championship this year after winning promotion through the League One playoffs, are aiming to secure their first points of the season. The team had a tough opening-day fixture and their manager, Darren Moore, left after their dramatic victory over Barnsley in the Wembley final. Xisco Munoz has taken over as the new manager. Despite a difficult pre-season, Sheffield Wednesday began their season at home against Southampton and managed to equalize after going behind. However, they ultimately lost the game due to a late goal from Che Adams. Nevertheless, they come into this weekend's match on the back of an EFL cup win. Sheffield Wednesday will now face MKM Stadium with the goal of securing their first league victory under their new manager.
