West Ham United v Hull City: match preview

West Ham United v Hull City
West Ham United v Hull City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

West Ham United are feeling better after picking up four points from their past two games and the visit of Hull City offers them a chance to edge away from the bottom three. After beating Burnley on Wednesday, they will be confident of finally recording consecutive wins in the league at the London Stadium. Andy Carroll is set to start again for Slaven Bilic’s side, who could condemn Hull to spending Christmas at the bottom of the table. Jacob Steinberg
