Struggling squad Hull City AFC (3-9-2, 11 points) will try to snap a three-game winless slide as they square off with fellow lowly club Crystal Palace FC (4-8-2, 14 points) in a 2016-2017 Premier League season match on Dec. 10, Saturday at the KCOM Stadium.

Start Time and Streaming Info

The game starts at 10:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.

The two teams have struggled to find wins in the past several rounds as both sides are currently settled in the bottom half of the league table.

Hull City is in the bottom three relegation area at the moment after being winless in five of their last six outings. They are tied on points with fellow bottom three team Sunderland but has a lesser goal difference to drop to the 19th spot in the overall standings.

In their most recent game on Monday, the Tigers were nipped by fellow newly-promoted side Middlesbrough, 0-1, on the road at the Riverside Stadium, as per SkySports.

Uruguayan midfielder Gaston Ramirez scored the lone goal of the contest in the 60th minute for the Boro as head coach Mike Phelan's boys were shutout for the second time in three games.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace snapped a six-game losing streak with a 3-0 thrashing of middling squad Southampton at their home field of Selhurst Park last Saturday, Goal reported.

Belgian striker Christian Benteke scored a brace for head coach Alan Pardew's side opening the scoring in the 33rd minute with an easy shot to an open goal following an error by Southampton keeper Fraser Forster and defender Jose Fonte.

Palace defender James Tomkins doubled the lead two minutes later with a goal following a corner kick by teammate Jason Puncheon.

Benteke netted his second goal of the game in the 85th minute to complete the Eagles' three-goal haul and first win since their 3-2 victory over Sunderland in late September.

Prediction and Predicted Lineup

The predicted result is a tough 2-1 victory by Crystal Palace for a two-game winning run.

Hull City starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Marshall; Robertson, Davies, Elmohamady, Dawson; Mason, Clucas, Snodgrass, Livermore; Diomande; Henriksen

Crystal Palace starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hennessey; Ward, Delaney, Tomkins, Dann; Zaha, Puncheon; McArthur, Townsend, Ledley; Benteke
