Manchester City travel away to Hull hoping to put their away miseries behind them after a decent run of form where they have lost only once in their last 5, that coming away at Everton.

The City side have no been boosted by the returns of Kolo Toure, Emanuel Adebayor, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Wayne Bridge, who will all possibly start in this outing to give some much needed experience to the blue half of Manchester.

Hull on the other hand have failed to win in any of their last previous 11 encounters, managing to stay afloat by grabbing the odd draw games here and there.

The positive point they will have is that they have only lost once at home in their last 5, with 3 draws and a solitary win, which will give them confidence that they can do the business. 

But with City playing really well under Mancini and looking to build a good run heading towards the final half of the season in the battle for the Champions League places, it will be required for City to win such games against strugglers Hull City.

Manchester City to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
