NEWCASTLE vs Hull City Watch Along

Hull City secured their return to the Premier League in dramatic fashion last season, beating Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley. Oli McBurnie scored the decisive goal in the 95th minute, sending the Tigers back into the top flight for the first time in nine years. For Newcastle, this is an opportunity to make home advantage count against one of the division's newly promoted sides. Hull will arrive with plenty of confidence after their remarkable promotion campaign, but St James' Park should provide a challenging environment for Sergej Jakirovic's side.
