The English Championship will return this weekend for the final time this season and will see Hull City host Nottingham Forest at the MKM Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Hull City have achieved safety on their return to the Championship and will now be targeting a top-half league finish next season. They were beaten 5-0 by Bristol City in their last game and will be looking to shake that off at the weekend.
The Tigers sit 18th in the league table with 50 points from 45 games. They will look to return to winning ways on Saturday to end their season with a victory.
Nottingham Forest missed the chance to secure automatic qualification to the Premier League after losing 1-0 to Bournemouth in a cagey clash at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Reds sit third in the Championship standings with 79 points. They have already secured playoff football and will be targeting victory this weekend in preparation for that.
