For the Hull of it

United make their first visit to the Kingston Communications Stadium, Hull City's new ground, this Saturday, hoping to put their crap Tuesday night performance behind them. United will be in their blue away kit which has served them so well this season (forgetting Arsenal and Hartlepool) and should be boosted by a decent away following.

Scott McNiven will probably have recovered to reclaim his place from Roy Hunter, who failed to stake his claim to the right wingback berth against Orient. There are unlikely to be any other changes to the starting line-up and Ian Atkins will probably stick with the formation and tactics that have worked so well in away games.

Hull are having a decent run at present, having won their last two games to take them to thirteenth, seven points behind United. However Peter Taylor's team haven't won at home since beating Bristol Rovers 1-0 over two months ago. This shouldn't worry the Tigers unduly, as United have a habit of always losing two on the trot, so expect City to triumph, probably 2-0, to complete this sequence.
