Hull City will host Blackburn Rovers at the MKM Stadium in round 18 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (October 29).

With 20 points from 16 games, Hull are currently in the standings, level on points with Birmingham City and Sunderland.
Meanwhile, Blackburn held firm to see out a slender 2-1 victory over Birmingham City at home last weekend. They are on a three-match winning run, dating back to a 1-0 defeat against Wigan Athletic on October 11.
With 30 points from 17 games, Blackburn are third in the league table, two points off leaders Burnley.
