Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Hull City v Manchester City

After last week’s reduced fixture list we are back to a full schedule of games for Gameweek 30. The action starts at the KC Stadium where Hull City square up to Manchester City, who will be looking to bounce back after their Champions League exit in midweek.

Today’s match is the first of three that City have in hand over their title rivals Chelsea and a victory is vital if they hope to catch Jose Mourinho’s charges. Going into the match just five points outside of the relegation zone, Steve Bruce’s Hull will be looking for a strong finish to the season to ensure they avoid being dragged into a relegation dog fight.

Our Twitter feed offers up all the news from today’s teamsheets, while those wishing to indulge in some real-time exchange of views can do so via our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

      Such a turn off. Should be an automatic Red. Worst part of the game.

        The ref probably didn't have a clear view to give a red but anything that goes unseen like that should get retrospective action. Just like they do with foul play.
