Hull City – Crystal Palace

Hull City head into the clash at the MKM Stadium perched in third place with eight points from two wins and two draws, boasting a solid 5‑2 goal difference. Their opponents, Crystal Palace, sit down in 16th with just three points after a solitary victory and three defeats, and a leaky 6‑11 defensive record. The Tigers will look to extend their unbeaten run and tighten the gap at the top, while the Eagles will need to turn around a disappointing start if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone. Historically the two sides have not met often this season, making the encounter a pivotal test for both clubs’ ambitions.
