Hello and welcome to live coverage of Hull City vs Manchester City.

All over with United against Sunderland, and you can look at the result here.

City have Fernandinho, their most important player, available in midfield. They're still without the vile hatchet man Sergio Aguero - still on the naughty step for assaulting David Luiz - so go with Nolito, De Bruyne and Sterling up top.

City, however, have 'Pep'. Despite that, they've struggled of late. They've made their boss jumpy with irritation, they can't defend properly, but they still beat Arsenal. Today, John Stones has got out of his clown car and into the first team, so let's see how that goes.

Hull City are struggling. They have been underfunded, their ownership isn't clear for the future, and they are relegation candidates. Merry Christmas, you're going to play Man City!
