FA Cup

Hull enter the FA Cup in the third-round with the draw taking place at the BT Tower on 5 December 2016.^[132] Hull were drawn at home to fellow Premier League team Swansea City.^[133] The match took place on 7 January 2017 at the KCOM Stadium and was the first game with new head coach Marco Silva in charge. The first half saw chances at both ends of the field but no one was able to break the deadlock. The second half started in the same way but soon after Abel Hernández was introduced, in place of Markus Henriksen, Hull broke the deadlock when Hernández turned in a cross from Shaun Maloney after 78-minutes. A goal deep in added time by substitute Josh Tymon, his first for the club, added to Hull's lead. At the other end Eldin Jakupović did his part in keeping a clean sheet for Hull who progressed to the fourth round after winning 2–0.^[134] The draw for the fourth round took place on 9 January 2017 and Hull were drawn away to Fulham.^[135]

The tie took place on 29 January 2017 at 12.30 p.m. at Craven Cottage.^[136] Fullam opened the scoring through former city player Sone Aluko after 17-minutes. Hull struck back at the start of the second-half through Evandro Goebel, but Chris Martin restored Fulham's lead 5-minutes later. Fullam went further in front with goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Stefan Johansen. Tomáš Kalas tripped Andrew Robertson in the area to give Hull a penalty. Abel Hernández took the spot-kick which goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli stopped, Hernández followed through but was fouled by Bettinelli with the awarding of a second penalty. Hernández took the second penalty that was tipped over the bar by Bettinelli. Hull exited the cup, losing 4–1.^[137]

EFL Cup

Hull City enter the competition in the second-round, the draw took place on 10 August 2016 and City were drawn away to Exeter City.^[138] The match took place on 23 August 2016 with City giving debuts to Dušan Kuciak, Jarrod Bowen and Greg Olley. Exeter took the lead when Jake Taylor scored after 24-minutes. City responded when Adama Diomande hit the net a minute later, scoring a second goal 13 minutes from time. This was quickly followed by Robert Snodgrass hitting the net from a free kick to put City into the next round by a score of 3–1.^[139] The draw for the third-round took place the following day and Hull were drawn away to Stoke City.^[140] The match took place on 21 September 2016 at the Bet365 Stadium. Marko Arnautović opened the scoring for Stoke after 24 minutes, but Hull drew level just before half-time when Ryan Mason scored his first goal for the club. Stoke dominated the second-half, but in injury time, Markus Henriksen, on his debut, scored the winner for Hull.^[141]

The draw for the fourth-round, took place the same day and Hull were again drawn away to Bristol City.^[142] The match at Ashton Gate Stadium took place on 25 October 2016.^[143] Harry Maguire opened the scoring with a goal just before half-time for Hull, with Michael Dawson getting a second just after the break. Bristol left it late to get on the scoreboard when Lee Tomlin scored in extra-time, and Tammy Abraham went close just before the final whistle. Hull progressed to the fifth round for the second year in a row.^[144] Later The Football Association charged Adama Diomande with violent conduct for an incident with Marlon Pack.^[145] Diomande accepted the charge and was given a three-match ban.^[146] The draw for the quarter-final took place the following day and Hull were drawn at home to Newcastle United.^[147]

The match took place on 29 November 2016 at the KCOM Stadium, and both teams missed several chances to score and with a minute to go of normal time Hull's Dieumerci Mbokani was sent off, but this failed to break the deadlock.^[148] Extra time was played and Newcastle United had the extra player advantage giving ex-Hull striker Mohamed Diamé the chance to take advantage with a goal eight-minutes into the first period. Hull responded immediately through Robert Snodgrass who levelled the score a minute later.^[148] Newcastle United continued to press but could not break the deadlock and the game ended 1–1 after extra time.^[148] The game went to penalties, Jonjo Shelvey started for Newcastle but his shot was saved by Eldin Jakupović, Robert Snodgrass converted for Hull, Dwight Gayle's attempt went over the bar while Michael Dawson scored, Christian Atsu put one in for Newcastle before Tom Huddlestone converted his attempt.^[148] Newcastle had to score to stay in the match but Yoan Gouffran's attempt was saved by Jakupović and Hull progressed 3–1 on penalties to the semi-final for the first time in their history.^[148] The draw for the semi-finals took place the following day and Hull were drawn against Manchester United, the game to be played over two-legs in January 2017.^[149]

The first leg took place on 10 January 2017 at Old Trafford. Hull had a depleted side because of injuries and sickness and could only name six substitutes; Tom Huddlestone took the captain's role in the absence of Michael Dawson. Manchester United pressed in the first-half but were unable to make a break through. Markus Henriksen sustained a shoulder injury after 16-minutes and was replaced by Abel Hernández. In the second-half Manchester broke the deadlock after 11-minutes Juan Mata tapped in from close range and with 3-minutes to go Marouane Fellaini doubled the score.^[150]^[151]

In the second leg, played on 26 January 2017, although Hull managed a 2–1 victory thanks to goals from Tom Huddlestone and Oumar Niasse, Paul Pogba's goal in between them meant they lost the tie 3–2 on aggregate and were eliminated.^[152]
