Hull City kick off their FA Cup campaign on Sunday as they welcome Doncaster Rovers to the MKM Stadium. The Tigers will be looking to avoid an upset against the League Two side.
The match comes eight days after Ruben Selles’ men played out a dramatic 3-3 draw with Yorkshire rivals Leeds United. Hull had found themselves 3-1 down with less than 10 minutes to play, but goals from Abu Kamara and Joao Pedro saw them take an unlikely point from the game.
It’s a point that could be crucial in the fight against relegation at the end of the season. The Tigers sit in 22nd place in the Championship, but are only in the relegation zone on goal difference.
