Hull City will host Blackpool at the MKM Stadium in the EFL Championship on Monday (December 26), looking to end their three-game winless run.
With 26 points in 23 games, the Tigers are 21st in the league table and haven't won in their last three games. Since beating Cardiff City in November for just their seventh win of the campaign, the Yorkshire outfit lost 2-1 to Reading before back-to-back draws to Watford and Sunderland.
It was also Liam Rosenior's only triumph since taking charge on November 3. Shota Arveladze was given the boot in September following five losses in a row.
Blackpool, meanwhile, are in a worse position than Hull, accruing two points fewer and sitting a position adrift in the standings. They're without a win in their last six games, losing four.
Such an atrocious run has seen them plunge into the bottom three of the division, and manager Michael Appleton could be next in line to be axed from his job.
