Overview

Hull City enter this fixture after suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham United. The Tigers were the better team against the Hammers, however, their failure to find the back of the net forced them to settle for a defeat.

It was Mark Noble's second half penalty that gave West Ham three points against Hull. Mike Phelan will be hoping his side can bounce back when they host Pep Guardiola's side on Monday for the Boxing Day clash.

City have registered two consecutive wins in the last two matches. Both those wins have come at home, with their last win being against Arsene Wenger's Arsenal. In the last away tie, the Citizens suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the champions Leicester City.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager will be looking to seal his first three points in his first match in charge as a manager on Boxing Day. City will be aware that a defeat at the hands of Hull City could see them lose grip in the title race.
