Premier League: Hull City vs. Manchester United
Manchester United are still hanging on at the top of the Premier League as the gap to Chelsea have widen to six points. The reigning champion needs to get their act together if they want to mount a serious challenge to retain the Premiership title. They will be traveling to Hull who are struggling at the bottom half of the table.
Hull City faces charges over the failing to control their players in last weekend’s 3-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The mass confrontation started on the pitch when Arsenal Samir Nasri appeared to stepped on Hull’s Richard Garcia’s foot and further confrontation continued when both teams left the field for first half. Manager Phil Brown has a bigger problem in hand as they are linger on the relegation zone on 17th place. If Hull does not find themselves gaining points over the Christmas period then the 2010 will be a tough year ahead. Brown will not be able to pick either Ashbee or Bullard to face Man U.
Two recent defeats, 1-0 to Aston Villa at Old Trafford and a 3-0 crushing defeat at Craven Cottage to Fulham, might have dent the hope of winning their 19th Premiership. While Man United are losing ground, Chelsea have also done the same, so not all is lost. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson will face yet another headache over his availability of defense players on the day. Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are still rule out doubtful to travel to Hull while another defeat could derail their Christmas spirit. Man U will without Hargreaves, Van der Sar, Macheda, Nani, Neville and O'Shea.
Christmas is the usually the time when Manchester United accelerate and does a solid job in maintain some kind of consistency from now until May. This season things have rapid been some kind of roller coaster ride and only they will know where it will be heading. Manchester United are favorites to beat the Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
