Manchester United face Hull at Old Trafford on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Wayne Rooney salvaged a draw for Manchester Untied against Stoke on Saturday with a stoppage time equalizer — he also became the Red Devils’ all-time leading scorer with the free kick goal. It was United’s second consecutive Premier League draw, leaving them in sixth place, two points behind crosstown rivals Manchester City.
United fans will expect their club to return to their form they had carried into the new year: they had won their last two league games of 2016, and their first in 2017. Jose Mourinho will have Eric Bailly available for selection as the defender has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations. Man United have the longest current unbeaten streak in the Premier League at 13 games. In order to challenge for a top for spot, they’ll need more wins than draws going forward.
Hull have only won one league match in their last five tries and sit one spot above the bottom of the table on 16 points. They’re tied with 18th-place Crystal Palace on points so a result at Old Trafford would be huge. The Tigers are dealing with a long list injuries which includes defenders Curtis Davies and Alex Bruce. Help in the back has arrived in the form of Andrea Ranocchia, who joined Hull on loan from Inter Milan and is available to play on Wednesday.
Hull fans will be relieved by the news that Ryan Mason has been released from the hospital after sustaining a terrifying head injury against Chelsea on Jan. 22 that left him with a fractured skull. Mason now faces a long road to recovery. The Tigers will also be without Ahmed Elmohamady who is still on duty with Egypt at the AFCON.
