Hull City will host Blackpool at the MKM Stadium in the EFL Championship on Monday (December 26), looking to end their three-game winless run. With 26 points in 23 games, the Tigers are 21st in the league table and haven’t won in their last three games. Since beating Cardiff City in November for just their seventh win of the campaign, the Yorkshire outfit lost 2-1 to Reading before back-to-back draws to Watford and Sunderland.
It was also Liam Rosenior’s only triumph since taking charge on November 3. Shota Arveladze was given the boot in September following five losses in a row. Blackpool, meanwhile, are in a worse position than Hull, accruing two points fewer and sitting a position adrift in the standings. They’re without a win in their last six games, losing four.
Such an atrocious run has seen them plunge into the bottom three of the division, and manager Michael Appleton could be next in line to be axed from his job.

Hull City vs Blackpool Team News
Having scored as a substitute last weekend, Ozan Tufan could be rewarded with a return to the Hull midfield. Rosenior may opt against further alterations, leaving Chelsea loanee Harvey Vale on the substitutes’ bench despite making just his second outing of the season last time out.
Blackpool will be able to call upon Marvin Ekpiteta after the centre-back completed his ban for a red card against Wigan Athletic before the World Cup break. Ian Poveda-Ocampo is in line for a recall after providing the assist for Blackpool’s equaliser versus Cardiff, although the wide player could replace one of a number of players.
