After 104 years of waiting, Hull City will make their live Premier League debut on Sunday, and FanZoner Lee Sargeson can't wait.
I am really hoping the boys will take the chances against Man City that they were left to rue against Bolton last Saturday.
We're playing a 4-3-1-2 system at the moment and are finding that playing it against the right team can bring rewards, but slowly and surely teams are starting to find us out a bit.
I think we should start with a 4-4-2 against Man City as we seem to get a better return from that. We play better football in that formation, challenge better for the second ball and give better cover for the full-backs.
Don't get me wrong the system has worked well for us in the past but I just feel a change is needed to surprise our opponents a bit. But that's the beauty of football, it's all about opinions, and I'm not the Hull City manager, Phil Brown is, and long may that continue.
The Bolton game highlighted the fact that if you don't take your chances then you could lose however much you dominate, and a lot of our chances came after we went 4-4-2. So I am expecting us to attack right from the start on Sunday, so as to give Man City no time or space on the ball.
Pressure
This is a must-win for both sides so this has all the ingredients for a fast-flowing and attacking game on both sides.
We're under a little bit of pressure to find the form that gave us such a fantastic start to the season, but I'm sure they will. I mean the two games against the two best teams in the world were free games after the start we had, so the last game should just be a little blip.
Mark Hughes has been given the "vote of confidence" so a loss to the mighty Tigers should see him in a little more hot water if you know what I mean.
So good luck to the lads and the manager, and I'm hoping I can celebrate a couple of goals and a Hull City win, as this is the first Premier League live game in Hull City's history - 104 years of waiting for this moment and only a few days to go.
This should be a good game, and with this being hopefully my first of many as being the Hull City FanZoner, it's one that I'm relishing more than most.
"COME ON YOU HULL!"
