Hull City will be looking to make it three successive wins in the EFL Championship when they host Bristol City at MKM Stadium on Friday night. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a thrilling 2-1 success away to Blackburn Rovers last weekend, while the Robins were beaten 2-0 by Birmingham City. Having collected six points from three second tier games, the Tigers are occupying seventh spot in the standings, while the visitors are sitting at the 14th position, with four points to their name. Meanwhile, this is an encounter between one of the highest goal-scorers in the division (Hull with seven) and the lowest (Bristol City with two), leaving Nigel Pearson’s men to raise the bar in that area of the pitch.
It’s set to be a cracking atmosphere on Friday 🔊🆙

Although Hull City started their new campaign with back-to-back defats against Norwich City and Doncaster in the Championship and EFL Cup respectively, they have bounced back with successive league-wins over Sheffield Wednesday (4-2) and Blackburn. The Tigers came from behind to take all three points against the Rovers last time out thanks to substitute Aaron Connolly’s late double. In both their wins, Liam Rosenior’s side had the majority of the ball possession and created more goal-scoring opportunities than their opponents. The English tactician’s possession based football has started to yield them the results.
Bristol city, on the other hand, lost out to Birmingham last weekend courtesy of Koji Miyoshi’s opener on the stroke of half-time and Lukas Jutkiewicz’s 84th-minute effort. Apart from losing the match, the Robins ended the match with a man-less as Robert Dickie was sent off 14 minutes from time. Prior to that, Nigel Pearson’s men got the better of Millwall on August 12 thanks to Matt James’ lone goal four minutes into the injury time. Bristol City have been inconsistent in their initial phase of the new campaign, having recorded one win, a draw and a defeat from their opening three second tier games, and will be looking to stitch together a run of positive results before the international break in September.
Hull City probable starting lineup: Ingram, Coyle, Jones, McLoughlin, Greaves, Slater, Seri, Connolly, Tufan, Twine, Delap
Bristol City probable starting lineup: O’Leary, Tanner, Vyner, Naismith, Pring, James, Williams, Sykes, Knight, Mehmeti, Bell
