On the final day of the season six years ago Hull lost 1-0 to Manchester United and still survived. This time they have to win and hope Newcastle don’t defeat West Ham. United have secured a Champions League place so will be a touch relaxed no matter how professional they attempt to be. This could give Hull the chance to pull off the required victory – then it is all about what occurs on Tyneside. Jamie Jackson
