Hull City

Hull City bounced back to winning ways in their last game against Sheffield United. Matt Crooks opened the scoring in the 6th minute before Matty Jacob extended the lead in the 63rd minute. Harrison Burrows’ own goal in the 88th minute made it 3-0. They had earlier suffered a 2-1 loss to Hull City and have won twice in their last five games. They sit 19th on the table with 29 points in 29 games, scoring 30 goals and conceding 38. Oscar Zambrano will miss this game due to suspension, while Mohamed Belloumi, Liam Millar, Kasey Palmer, Charlie Hughes and Lewie Coyle are ruled out due to injuries. However, Louie Barry will hope to make his debut after completing a loan move from Aston Villa. He had a great spell with Stockport County in the first half of the season, scoring 15 goals.
