A final change for United as Welbeck is replaced by Zoran Tosic

Phil Brown looks incredible nervous, fiddling with his earpiece and twitching

Flicked header by Turner from a long throw has Kuszczak scrabbling, but he collects

Marney's corner comes in from the left and it's easy for Fletcher to head away

Hull now seem almost wary of letting in a second goal - when really it does not matter how many they lose by if they indeed do

De Laet is back on but does not look comfortable

Salomon Kalou scores for Chelsea, they lead against at Sunderland

He must have landed badly as it is his ankle which is in need of treatment

De Laet is down and looks in pain, Mendy with a high boot

Cross from Marney goes straight into the gloves of Kuszczak

Martin feeds in Macheda on the left, half a chance but the teenager skews his effort

Tame free-kick, no power and easy for Kuszczak

Hull make a change before the free-kick as Nick Barmby is replaced by Bernard Mendy

Handball by Gibson around 25 yards out. Yet another great free-kick chance and it's in a perfect position for Dawson

Michael Owen on for Newcastle. He can't, can he?

Hull have not won a single game this season when losing at half-time. Will they have to change that?

Hull may be losing, but ultimately right now they will be one of the winners on Survival Sunday. They may be behind but Newcastle United and Middlesbrough are too which means it is the north east which will currently head to the Championship

Quiet going into the break

Two minutes added on

Good swinging cross by Dawson on the left, Turner's in there but heads over

Foul by Rafael, free kick on the left to Hull

Hull really do need to get a goal from somewhere. They surely can't rely on Villa to do them a favour

Macheda almost gets a quickfire second but his effort lacks power and Myhill can claim

Geovanni rushes over to intercept a loose ball - showing real determination today

Free-kick to United on the right - but it's taken short by Nani and possession is lost

No goals in other relegation games yet. Newcastle have gone close against Villa though

Great cross from Geovanni on the left. For some reason Neville leaves it and Fagan almost gets in. United scramble it away

Long throw into the box by Ricketts, Turner penalised for a push

Phil Brown is furiously scribbling in a notebook. What's he got in store?

Corner to United. Nani takes short, receives a short return but his cross only finds a Hull head

It's a little scrappy at the moment

Soccernet's resident Geordie is already having kittens. We've put the cups and plates under lock and key

Dawson swings it in from the right, not a bad ball but it evades everyone

Corner to Hull

Nani jumps into Dawson and that's a free-kick

There's a great stmosphere at the KC, the Hull fans really getting behind their team

And we're off! The best part of two hours of drama begins!

It's a year to the day since Hull City won promotion from the Championship. Can they earn their place again?

Hull play Craig Fagan as the lone striker with Geovanni in behind. Manucho can't play as he's on loan from the Red Devils.

Two surprises though, as Lee Martin and Ritchie De Laet are handed a start. And take a look at their bench - three players are so random they have not even appeared in our system before today... including the wonderfully named Daniel Drinkwater

As expected, Sir Alex rests all his first choice stars with Wednesday in mind, but there is a place for Wes Brown, Gary Neville, Darren Fletcher and Nani

The tension is starting to build at the KC, Hull desperate to get the win which will secure their place in the Premier League for a second season.
