Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Hull City and West Bromwich Albion. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at KC Stadium in Kingston upon Hull and can be live streamed here free.
Former West Brom player Shane Long will have the opportunity to face his former club for the first time this afternoon. The 27-year-old joined Hull City in the January transfer window and now has the opportunity to push his former side closer to relegation. According to City boss Steve Bruce, however, Long has nothing to prove ahead of today's clash (h/t to the Hull Daily Mail). "West Brom's loss has certainly been our gain," he told the Mail. "We took advantage of him coming to the end of his contract. He's had a really good start to his life here and quickly made himself popular with our supporters," he added.
"I'm sure he'll be wanting to do well again and score against his old club, that's only natural, but I don't think he'll think he's got anything to prove. They know he's an honest lad who always gave his best there."
Will Long be able to give his best in a crucial victory for his new side? Tell us @SportsWN
