BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ The season's surprise package, Hull City, were given a reality check by
Chelsea on Wednesday, crashing to a 0-3 defeat, after four straight
victories, and dropped out of the top four.
＊ Now just three days later, Phil Brown's Play-Off winners face another of
the title contenders in defending champions Manchester United at Old
Trafford, who are pursuing their 400th Premier League victory - all
under Sir Alex Ferguson.
＊ The Red Devils returned to winning ways midweek, after being held by
Everton at Goodison Park, beating West Ham at the Theatre of Dreams
with two unanswered Cristiano Ronaldo goals.
＊ United are unbeaten at home; the Tigers undefeated away from home.
＊ Sir Alex Ferguson's side, who are eight points off the pace with a game in
hand, are vying for a fourth successive home victory.
＊ City are in danger of suffering successive defeats for the first time
ever in top-flight football, but cross the Pennines in search of a fifth
straight league win on the road.
＊ Hull's only victory at Old Trafford was 0-2 in the third round of the FA
Cup on 12 January 1952, when they were in the lower reaches of the Second
Division and United went on that season to win the first of their post-war
Football League titles.
＊ Distance between the clubs: 103 miles (166 kilometres)
CLUB FORM
