Hull City will welcome Huddersfield Town to the MKM Stadium for an EFL Championship matchday 16 fixture on Saturday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to West Brom. Jed Wallace, Matt Phillips and Semi Ajayi all found the back of the net to guide the Baggies to all three points.
Huddersfield Town, meanwhile, settled for a share of the spoils in a goalless draw at home to Watford.
The stalemate left the Terriers in 21st spot, having garnered 15 points from as many games. They are four points above the dropzone. Hull City are ninth with 23 points to their name.

Hull City vs Huddersfield Prediction
Hull City missed their chance to enter the top six last weekend and will be aiming to make amends this time around. However, their poor recent record against Huddersfield Town could count against them, having not beaten the West Yorkshire outfit for eight years.
Darren Moore's side have one eye over their shoulder at the relegation zone, with just four points separating them from the drop. Their form on the road has been a cause for concern, although they tend to score on their travels. Three of their last four away goals have come in second-half stoppage time, so there could be some late drama here.
We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable win with goals to be scored at both ends.
Prediction: Hull City 3-1 Huddersfield
