Hull City host Sheffield Wednesday at the MKM Stadum on Saturday (August 12) in the EFL Championship on matchday two of the 2023-24 season.
It's been a terrible start to the new campaign for the Tigers, who have lost both games. In their opening league game, Hull lost 2-1 to Norwich City, who came from behind to secure all three points, including a 96th-minute winner from Adam Idah.
Days later, Liam Rosenior's side went down to Doncaster Rovers by an identical scoreline at home in the first round of the Carabao Cup. Once again, Hull went in front early on but relinquished their lead to return empty-handed.
