Hull City host Sheffield United at MKM Stadium as the Championship returns from the international break.
Victory would see Hull climb to 11th in the table, whilst Sheffield Utd can go third with a win.
Team News
Kasey Palmer and Liam Millar are doubts for Hull after representing Jamaica and Canada respectively on international duty, which resulted in them returning later than other players who were also involved in international action.
Ryan Longman (shoulder), Dogukan Sinik (tendon) and Andy Smith (ankle) remain sidelined.
Sheffield Utd could be without midfielder, Oli Arblaster after he withdrew from international duty for England Elite squad with an unspecified injury.
Femi Seriki (groin) and Andre Brooks (concussion) could return but Jack Robinson (unspecified) remains ruled out.
When is Kick-Off?
Hull host Sheffield Utd at MKM Stadium on Friday 13 September at 8pm BST, live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Hull are winless in their last six meetings against Sheffield Utd (D1, L5).
- Sheffield Utd have lost one of their last five league visits to Hull (W4, L1).
- Chris Wilder’s Blades have kept clean sheets in two of their last three visits to Hull.
- Hull have kept just one clean sheet this season (D3, L1).
- Five of Sheffield Utd’s six league goals were scored in the first half this season.
Prediction
Although Hull are winless so far this season, they’ve done a solid job to scrape three draws from four games but they now need to kick on and start to find a win if want to mount a promotion push soon.
Sheffield Utd meanwhile got a lucky winner early on against Watford in their last outing, but were otherwise quite wasteful in a dominant display which could of seen them score goals.
Now if Chris Wilder’s Blades can kick on and use that performance as a launchpad, they really should get another win but I do expect Hull to make it hard and possibly scrape a fourth draw in five games.
Prediction: Hull 1-1 Sheffield United
Result: Hull 0-2 Sheffield United
