Hull City vs Sheffield United Preview
Hull City have had a terrible season and it seems a long time ago since they were in the Premier League under Marco Silva. That was only last season, but they are now in serious danger of suffering back to back relegations and playing League One football next season. Nigel Adkins replaced Leonid Slutsky as manager in December but has failed to inspire an upturn in fortunes so far.
With 2 matches in the space of 3 days, Nigel Adkins may have to make a few changes. Will Keane, Jon Toral and Seb Larsson are very likely to start, as is Polish winger Kamil Grosicki. Abel Hernandez is still out for The Tigers and Moses Odubajo is on the sidelines too.
Sheffield United have had the complete opposite of Hull City’s season. Last year the Blades were in League One and having won promotion to the Championship, they are looking for two promotions in a row. Chris Wilder is now widely recognised as one of the best managers in the Football League and he has done a fantastic job at Bramall Lane.
The Blades were a little bit unlucky to have gone out of the FA Cup against former Premier League Champions Leicester City on Friday night but they will not be too disheartened. The only players missing through injury are Kieron Freeman and Paul Coutts so there should be a strong starting 11 put out.

Hull City vs Sheffield United Prediction
Hull City are in a real dogfight at the bottom and a club of their size will be desperate not to drop down to League One level. No team is too big to go down though, as the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City have been down there in recent seasons, as well as Friday’s opponents Sheffield United.
The Tigers seemed to give up and roll over in the FA Cup against Chelsea, but we are expecting to see a lot more fight and desire out of them this time around. A good performance is needed, but the most important thing is the points.
Sheffield United aren’t in the top 6 anymore but they will still fight for that place in the play offs. It is still very close towards the top and a place in the top 6 of the Championship would prove to be an extraordinary season for Sheffield United.
Hull will make things difficult but the tip is for Sheffield United to claim a low scoring victory in Friday’s Yorkshire clash.

In the last 6 meetings between Yorkshire rivals Hull City and Sheffield United, it is Hull who narrowly have the better record. They took the win on 3 of those 6 occasions, with Sheffield United winning 2 and the other contest was a draw.
They have not met every year as they have spent many years in different divisions. One of the most notable recent meetings was a 5-3 win for Hull in the FA Cup semi-final back in 2014, in a season that was notable for Sheffield United’s giant killings.
