Hull City prepare for arguably the biggest game in their Premier League history when they welcome giants Manchester United to the KC Stadium this weekend and the match is literally a must win for the Tigers in their hopes of retaining top flight status.
Hull City Match Betting News
Hull City have endured a terrible campaign this term and they now look all but set to count the costs of their poor season by being consigned to the ignominy of relegation.
While it looks all doom and gloom for Hull at the moment, there is a mathematical possibility that the Tigers can still survive if they claim victory over Manchester United this weekend and at the same time, Newcastle United lose out against West Ham United.
Hull’s destiny is not in their hands but stranger things have happened in the Premier League relegation dogfight in the past and an optimistic Tigers’ fan will surely not be losing hope just yet.
Jake Livermore is banned while Mohamed Diame, Gaston Ramirez, Robert Snodgrass and Curtis Davies are all ruled out for the clash with injuries.
Manchester United Match Betting News
Although it has not been pretty at times, Louis van Gaal has managed to achieve the aim of guiding Manchester United back into the Champions League and overall, it has been a satisfactory campaign for the English giants.
3rd place and automatic progression into the knock out stages seems out of reach for the Red Devils heading into the final game of the season against desperate Hull but one can be sure that van Gaal will be in no mood of being charitable towards the Tigers by taking it easy.
David de Gea and Jonny Evans are doubts ahead of the clash while the likes of Michael Carrick, Rafael, Wayne Rooney and Luke Shaw are all ruled out.
Hull City vs Manchester United Match Prediction
It is no secret that Hull will be going out for a victory despite hosting a star studded Manchester United side – simply because they do not have any other choice.
Hull have never even claimed a single point against United in the Premier League but the match at the KC Stadium this weekend will be all about creating history.
Therefore, the Tigers could well pull off a miracle by claiming a first ever win over the Red Devils and in turn give themselves a fighting chance of surviving.
