Preview: Hull City (A)
Saturday, August 24th 2019
City head to the KCOM Stadium for their second away match in four days.
Following the midweek trip to Derby County, where Lee Johnson's men were victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, the Robins go in search of a third consecutive win this afternoon.
Hull City have endured a rocky start to the season, new manager Grant McCann has overseen one win in the league so far but of course it remains early days. That came against Reading, though in the last week the Tigers were to a 1-1 draw with Brentford before Blackburn stole a 1-0 win at the KCOM in midweek.

WORD FROM THE CAMP
'Momentum' was the key word from the pre-match press conference, and rightly so as City go in search of their third win in a row.
The players seem to have left the opening day defeat well in the past as they kick on to make a strong push.
Josh Brownhill's captaincy role, in the absence of Bailey Wright, has of course been a big talking point in the media and it's a responsibility the 23-year-old midfielder has thrived off.
And Assistant Head Coach Dean Holden has been speaking of the intensity, the cut and thrust of the demanding Championship season with City heading into their third game in seven days.
