Hull City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to six games in the EFL Championship when they make the trip to Bet365 Stadium to take on Stoke City on Sunday afternoon. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of draws in the mid-week, with the hosts playing out a 2-2 draw away to Huddersfield Town, while Hull were held to a goalless draw by Leeds United. Stoke are currently languishing at the 20th spot in the English second tier standings, having collected seven points from as many games, while the Tigers are sitting at the seventh position, with 12 points to their name.

Stoke started their 2023-24 Championship campaign positively, recording two wins and a defeat from their opening three games, but then faltered, losing three consecutive second tier games, before sharing the spoils against Huddersfield last time out. Alex Neil’s side earned a point against the Terriers on Wednesday night courtesy of goals from Daniel Johnson and Ben Wilmot. On a positive note, the Potters have collected six points from three fixtures at Bet365 Stadium, the solitary loss coming at the hands of leaders Preston North End.
Hull, on the other hand, started their new campaign with back-to-back defeats against Norwich and Doncaster in the Championship and EFL Cup respectively, but then got their acts together to go on a six-game unbeaten run in the second tier, recording three wins in the process. The Tigers began the month of September with a narrow 1-0 win away to pre-tournament favourites Leicester City thanks to Liam Delap’s 15th-minute effort, but then played out successive draws against Coventry (1-1) and Leeds (0-0). Liam Rosenior’s side will be disappointed not to have taken all three points against the Whites last time out, having played the final 30 minutes against 10-men after Leeds player Joe Rodon was sent off on the hour-mark. Nevertheless, a victory on Sunday will help the Tigers to climb as high as fourth spot in the Championship table.
Hull City probable starting lineup: Travers, McNally, Rose, Wilmot, Gooch, Laurent, Pearson, Burger, Johnson, Campbell, Wesley
Stoke City probable starting lineup: Allsop, Christie, Jones, Greaves, Coyle, Slater, Seri, Twine, Tufan, Philogene, Delap
