Prediction: 1-2
Sheffield United
Friday’s football game between Hull City and Sheffield United will opener round 5 of the new Championship campaign. The Tigers are desperate to record their first win of the season, but they will have a big fish to fry against Sheffield United. All Ryan Longman, Harvey Cartwright, and Dogukan Sinik are out of contention for the hosts, while Will Jarvis is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Blades, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Watford. Sheffield United have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and given Hull City’s slow start to the season, away win should definitely be considered. Alfie Gilchrist should be fit for Friday’s game, while Femi Seriki continues to miss out with injury for the away team. In their last meeting at MKM Stadium Sheffield United defeated Hull City 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Oliver Norwood):
Oliver Norwood is a Reading midfielder who began his youth career at Manchester United. Norwood made his debut for the reserve team against Middlesbrough in November, 2007, but he did not get a chance to play for the first team. After ending his loan spell with Coventry City in 2012, the 180-cm-tall midfielder signed a contract with Huddersfield Town.
Oliver Norwood scored eight goals in 80 league appearances for the club between 2012 and 2014. Later in 2014 he joined Reading for an undisclosed fee and he made his debut for the Royals against Nottingham Forest on 23 August, 2014.
Norwood was born in Burnley, England and he has six caps for England U16 team. He played three games for the U17 team as well, but he then decided to represent Northern Ireland as his heritage is Northern Irish. Norwood made his debut for the Green and White Army on 11 August, 2010, in a 2-0 loss to Montenegro. He replaced Sammy Clingan in the second half of the match.
Highlighted Team (Hull City):
Hull City are a professional football club that was founded back in 1904. The Tigers used to play their home games at Boothferry Park, but they moved to the KC Stadium in 2002. The stadium capacity is 24,450.
Hull impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and, as a result, they returned to the English Premier League. Hull City fans consider Leeds United their main rivals, but Sheffield United are regarded as Hull’s fierce rivals as well. Steve Bruce took over the reins at the club in 2012 and the experienced tactician helped the team book a place in the 2013/2014 FA Cup final, but Arsenal proved to be a big catch for the Tigers in the title decider.
Hull City finished the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign in 16th place in the standings to achieve their highest ever top flight finish. It has to be noted that Curtis Davies was named the team’s player of the year in the 2013/2014 season.
