Sheffield United Vs Hull City Stats Ahead Of Friday’s 8pm Clash

Sheffield United aim to move to the top of the Championship when they host struggling Hull City on Friday night.

The hosts currently sit second after a three-match winning run and only trail leaders Leeds United by just one point. Only a two-point deduction is keeping them off top spot before the weekend’s fixtures.

Meanwhile, the visitors make the trip across Yorkshire in search of three points in their own fight at the other end of the table.

Hull sit inside the relegation zone but have made strides since Ruben Selles took over as manager on December 6. Hull have picked up 11 points from nine matches under his helm after taking just 15 from the 19 games before that.
