Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 12:15 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Hull City has been on a downward spiral at the moment by being winless in their last six matches. They are currently at the bottom of the 20-team English top flight table, tied on points with 19th-place squad Swansea City but has a lesser goal difference.
The Tigers were nipped by rising squad West Ham United, 0-1, on the road at the London Stadium last Saturday for their second consecutive defeat, as per ESPN.
West Ham midfielder Mark Noble netted the lone goal of the match in the 76th minute as he buried a spot kick after Tigers midfielder Tom Huddlestone fouled the Hammers' Andre Ayew inside the penalty area.
It was the second straight shutout loss for head coach Mike Phelan's side and their third in the last four rounds.
Meanwhile, Manchester City bounced back from a two-game losing slide with two straight wins. Their latest one was an impressive 2-1 come-from-behind victory over fellow title-contenders Arsenal at their home ground of Etihad Stadium last Sunday, the Telegraph reported.
Arsenal opened the scoring in the fifth minute with a strike from forward Theo Walcott, giving the visitors a one-point lead at the halftime break.
However, City netted two goals after the restart to take away the three points from the Gunners in the overall standings.
German midfielder Leroy Sane equalized the game two minutes into the second half before English winger Raheem Sterling netted the winning goal in the 71st for head coach Pep Guardiola's side.
City is now in the third spot of the league table, two points ahead of Arsenal and seven points behind current league leaders Chelsea.
