Match preview
One of the more high-profile fixtures of the upcoming FA Cup third round is set to play out at the MKM Stadium on Saturday, January 7th.
The clash in question will see Hull City play host to Fulham.
It is the latter, of course, who will head into proceedings as favourites to march on, having defied the odds en route to a spot comfortably inside the top half of the Premier League table to this point in the campaign.
The last week has proven particularly impressive on the part of the Cottagers, who have bounced back from a pair of successive defeats in spectacular fashion, courtesy of three straight victories.
The latest came this past Tuesday, when a solitary Aleksandar Mitrovic effort proved enough to put Leicester City to the sword by a goal to nil.

Fulham, as a result, will no doubt be confident in their chances of advancing to the FA Cup’s 4th round for the 2nd year running, at the expense of a struggling Hull City on Saturday evening.
Recent weeks, though, have seen Liam Rosenior’s troops, to their credit, get things firmly back on track.
Across their last eight fixtures, Hull have fallen to just a solitary defeat.
Each of their last two outings, meanwhile, have given rise to three-point hauls, at the expense of Birmingham and Wigan respectively.
We at 101 therefore expect a hard-fought affair to play out at the MKM on Saturday afternoon, but are backing visitors Fulham, just, to emerge on the right side of the scoreline.
