Hull City will welcome Sheffield United on Friday evening, still looking for their first win of the new Championship season.
In stark contrast, the visitors have overcome an initial points deduction and, after the international break, are resuming play in sixth place in the standings.
Following Hull's decision to part ways with Liam Rosenior over the summer, fans remain uncertain whether it was the correct move. Under Tim Walter's guidance, the team has managed only three points from their first four matches, with their sole loss being an away game against Leeds United.
Even though Chris Wilder's side have yet to hit their stride, it's promising that they've already amassed eight points from two victories and two draws. While it may take some time for the new players to gel, it's evident early on that Wilder has the makings of a Championship squad that could be well-equipped to contend for promotion.
