Manchester United vs Hull City Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Manchester United play host to Hull City in a televised EFL Cup match this Tuesday. Read the match predictions to find out why a home win is the betting tip at Old Trafford. The Red Devils come into this match on the back of an easy 4-0 win over Reading in the FA Cup. Meanwhile, the Tigers also advanced to the fourth round after beating Swansea City 2-0 at home.
Manchester United vs Hull City Preview
Man Utd are set to recall a number of key players here, with Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David De Gea and Antonio Valencia expected to line up against Hull. Wayne Rooney levelled Sir Bobby Charlton’s all-time scoring record for United in the win over Reading and will continue in the hole. Marcos Rojo was injured in that match and will miss out along with Eric Bailly who is on international duty while Luke Shaw is doubtful with an illness.
Hull have lost both Ahmed Elmohamady and Dieumerci Mbokani to the African Cup of Nations and have a raft of injuries. New manager Marco Silva may be forced to play Jake Livermore as a makeshift centre-back with Alex Bruce injured and Michael Dawson, Curtis Davies and Harry Maguire all serious doubts. Robert Snodgrass has been in-form for the Tigers and he’ll be looking to continue that from right midfield.

Manchester United vs Hull City Prediction
Manchester United are in terrific form at the moment, with no defeat in their last fourteen matches. They go into this on an eight-game winning streak and will be looking to keep the winning feeling ahead of a showdown with rivals Liverpool at the weekend.
Hull City may have found the FA Cup a welcome distraction from battling relegation in the Premier League but head to Old Trafford with a depleted squad. The win over Swansea was their first in eleven outings, given that they needed penalties to get past Championship side Newcastle United in the quarter final.
Hull’s game-plan will be damage limitation with the view of keeping the tie alive for the return leg. However, their reshuffled defence is unlikely to cope with a confident United attack. The visitors have lost eleven of their last twelve meetings with Man Utd and it’s difficult to make a case for them getting anything out of this game.
