Hull City return to action just four days after losing at home to Stoke City in what was a disappointing start to the New Year, having finished 2025 in style.
City produced a largely flat display to lose against play-off rivals Stoke City, and that allowed Watford to leapfrog City into the Championship’s top four.
The Hornets arrive at the MKM Stadium on the back of four straight wins, but City will be aiming to get back to winning ways and cement their place inside the top six.
Between now and kick-off at 3pm, we’ll have all the build-up from here in East Yorkshire as City go in search of their first win of the New Year.
