Bottom three club Hull City AFC (2-7-1, 7 points) will try to get out of their current rut as they meet with middling team Southampton FC (3-3-4, 13 points) at the KCOM Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 6 as round 11 matches of the 2016-2017 Premier League season continues.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 9:15 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Hull City began the season with a bang, pulling off two consecutive wins. However, the team has been winless since then to drop to the bottom three relegation area where they are in danger of being demoted back to the Football League Championship next season.
The Tigers dropped a sorry 0-1 loss to rising squad Watford at the Vicarage Road last Saturday for their sixth straight defeat, as per SkySports.
The game was goalless for almost the entire match until an own goal from English defender Michael Dawson, Hull City's team captain, with only eight minutes remaining before full-time gave the Hornets the winning goal, bringing their own demise unto themselves.
Head coach Mike Phelan's boys were able to fend off all of Watford's attacks until then as the hosts controlled most of the ball possessions throughout the game.
Meanwhile, Southampton snapped a five-game unbeaten run after they were blanked by contending club Chelsea, 0-2, at their own home field of St. Mary's Stadium last Sunday, Daily Mail Online reported.
Belgian midfielder Eden Hazard and Spanish forward Diego Costa netted the game's two goals in the sixth and 55th minutes while head coach Claude Puel's side was not able to respond with anything.
It was a poor follow-up performance from the Saints after they managed to hold league leaders Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in the previous round on the road at the Etihad Stadium.
Southampton is currently at the ninth spot of the English top flight table, six points above the bottom three relegation zone and seven points below the Europa League qualifying berth for next season.
