Hull City will host Leicester City at the MKM Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have found good form of late after a sluggish start to their season and have climbed into the top half of the pile, sitting in 10th-place with 15 points.
They picked up a narrow and hard-fought 3-2 away win over newly-promoted Birmingham City on Saturday, profiting from an own goal to take the lead in the 11th minute before Regan Slater and Joe Gelhardt got on the scoresheet to confirm back-to-back league wins for the Tigers for the first time in just over a year.
Leicester City have not had the most convincing results this season but remain on the promotion path. They played out a 1-1 draw with Portsmouth last time out, heading into the break with a slender lead following Aaron Ramsey's opening strike before a flat second-half performance saw their opponents fight back to steal point.
Trending
The visitors sit fourth in the table with 17 points from 10 matches but could drop significantly in the standings should they fail to pick up any points on the road this week.
