Premier League football match between Hull City and Arsenal at MKM Stadium.
Hull City take on Arsenal at the MKM Stadium on Saturday 16 January, a Premier League clash that brings one of the league's biggest names to the city. For the Tigers, it's a match that marks their return to the top flight for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign. They got back here via the Championship play-offs, with Oliver McBurnie scoring a 95th-minute winner against Middlesbrough to seal the promotion.
There's a bit of history between the two sides, too. Hull's only European run came in the 2014-15 Europa League, and they reached the 2014 FA Cup final, where they finished runners-up to Arsenal. So this is a meeting with a few old threads woven into it.
If you're new to the club's history, it was founded on 28 June 1904 and has played at the MKM Stadium since 2002. The chairman is Turkish media figure Acun IlΔ±calΔ±, head of Acun Medya. A couple of names still stand out from the record books: Chris Chilton remains the club's record league goalscorer with 193 goals between 1960 and 1971, and Andy Davidson made 520 league appearances between 1952 and 1968.
