Hull City
After surviving Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup last 32, Stoke City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Hull City at their BET365 Stadium. The Potters have been having their ups and downs in the new Championship campaign, but they are still seen as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Talented defender Ashley Phillips has joined the likes of Lynden Gooch, Ben Pearson, Enda Stevens, Michael Rose, and Sam Gallagher in the recovery room.
The Tigers, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Leeds United and Sheffield United in the last two league matches. As Hull City are on a three-game goalless run in the English second tier, home win should be considered. The likes of Andy Smith, Ryan Longman, Harvey Cartwright, and Dogukan Sinik are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
At the club level, he began his youth career with Watford and signed his first professional contract in September 2010 at the age of 17. Bonham's first-ever professional appearance came on the 4th of May, 2013 as a substitute against Leeds United in the final game of the 12/13 Championship season.
This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
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.
