David Moyes expects tough Hull City test

Manchester United boss David Moyes has claimed that Hull City will provide his players with a stern test when they meet in the Premier League on Boxing Day.

United make the trip to the KC Stadium on the back of four consecutive wins in all competitions.

However, Moyes believes that Hull will be up for the fight when the champions arrive in town.

"They have got some good players and they will be a hard team to beat. They have had a decent first half to the season," the Scot told reporters.

"Away games are always much harder than the home games and we have to make sure that we go there and do the job right.

"We have done quite well away from home this season so far so we'll try and keep it going. We'll try and keep the good away form going and hopefully pick up some points."

United are currently in eighth place in the Premier League table, six points off a Champions League spot.
