Premier League Preview: Hull v Manchester United | Thurs 26th December 12:45

Pre-season, astronomical odds would have been available about Hull amassing more home points than Manchester United at this stage of the season.By @Betfuze.

Adnan Januzaj scored the second United goal against West Ham and will be hoping to maintain his form over the Christmas period

But with just one defeat emanating from their eight KC Stadium outings thus far, and the Tigers having conceded a Premier League-low three goals on their own patch, that situation has indeed come to fruition ahead of the Red Devils’ visit to Humberside. That said though, recent signs suggest that David Moyes’ men are back on an upward curve, with two of their four consecutive triumphs prior to this clash being recorded away from home. The fact that United conceded only once in the same period strengthens the notion that despite Hull’s hard-to-beat nature, particularly prevalent in front of their own supporters, the away side are essential components of any Boxing Day accumulators that punters may be considering.
