• Fixture: Hull City vs West Brom
• Date: Saturday, 20 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: MKM Stadium

Hull City come into this match with a strong run of form, having secured three wins in their last five games. Their recent victories against Millwall and Stoke City away from home show they can handle pressure on the road. With a solid defensive line and a potent attack led by Joseph, they'll look to exploit any weaknesses in West Brom's backline. The absence of several key players due to injury might affect their midfield control, but their recent performances suggest they can still pose a significant threat.

West Brom, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five outings. Their home form has been decent, but they'll need to be more consistent if they want to get a result against a confident Hull City side. With Heggebo leading the line and a midfield that can be both creative and robust, they have the tools to challenge Hull. However, their recent away form, including a loss to Southampton, might make them cautious in their approach.

Hull City have shown great resilience and form in their recent matches, winning three out of their last five games. Their victories against Millwall and Stoke City, both away from home, demonstrate their ability to perform under pressure. Despite a couple of losses at home to Middlesbrough and Ipswich, their overall momentum is positive, and they'll be looking to carry that confidence into this match.

• Predicted lineup: Pandur (GK), Coyle (DF), Hughes (DF), Ajayi (DF), Giles (DF), Hadziahmetovic (MF), Slater (MF), Belloumi (MF), Crooks (MF), Millar (MF), Joseph (AT)

Hull City are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Pandur in goal and a back four of Coyle, Ajayi, Hughes, and Giles. In midfield, Slater and Hadziahmetovic will provide stability, allowing Belloumi, Crooks, and Millar to support the lone striker Joseph up front.

• Predicted lineup: Wildsmith (GK), Campbell (DF), Phillips (DF), Bielik (DF), Styles (DF), Diakite (MF), Molumby (MF), Johnston (MF), Price (MF), Grant (MF), Heggebo (AT)

West Brom will likely deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Wildsmith between the sticks and a defensive line of Campbell, Phillips, Bielik, and Styles. The midfield duo of Molumby and Diakite will anchor the team, while Johnston, Price, and Grant will look to create chances for the lone striker Heggebo.

• Kyle Joseph vs Krystian Bielik: Joseph's pace and finishing will be tested against Bielik's defensive solidity.

• Matt Crooks vs Jayson Molumby: Crooks' creativity in midfield will be crucial against Molumby's tenacity and ball-winning ability.

• Liam Millar (Hull City): Millar's versatility and ability to play on either wing will be key for Hull City's attacking options.

• Aune Heggebo (West Brom): Heggebo's goal-scoring prowess will be vital for West Brom to break down Hull City's defence.
