This fixture is rich in history. Fans may recall the last time Stoke City faced Hull City in the Premier League back in 2017. That iconic match saw Stoke City win 3-1, with goals from Xherdan Shaqiri, Peter Crouch, and Marko Arnautovic. Harry Maguire scored for Hull City in what became a memorable encounter between the two clubs.
That 2017 clash marked the last time these two teams met in the Premier League, as both were relegated that season and have since competed in the EFL Championship. Now, they face off again on September 20th for the sixth round of the Championship. There are high expectations for Narcis Pelach to make a strong first impression as Stoke City's new manager against Hull City.
