Vincent Kompany’s side are deservedly at the top of the standings following their consistent results and performances.
Burnley will be eager to maintain their dominance at the top end of the EFL Championship table when they travel to Hull City for an intriguing contest. Both sides are sitting at contrasting ends of the standings and have been experiencing completely different season. While the visitors have been flying high and look favourite to qualify for the Premier League as table toppers, the home side have been struggling in bottom half of the table. Inconsistency has been a big problem for Hull this season.
It has prevented them from moving up in the table. They have done well to steer clear of the relegation zone. However, Hull City are nowhere close to booking a playoff spot. Even though there is still a long way to go this season, it seems unlikely that Hull will qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, this campaign has been nothing short of a fairy-tale run for Burnley supporters. Vincent Kompany’s side are deservedly at the top of the standings following their consistent results and performances.
Kompany must be given a lot of credit for their impressive showing this season. Not only are Burnley producing top performances but they are also winning their games in style by playing good football. As things stand, Burnley have already collected an astonishing 80 points from 36 games to be placed above everyone in the table. Meanwhile, Hull City are languishing down at the 15th spot with 46 points from the same number of matches as their upcoming opponent.
