Hull City will host Preston North End at the MKM Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season and now sit 18th in the table with eight points from seven matches.
They suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Watford in their game on Saturday, heading into the break a goal up following an Oliver McBurnie strike before their opponents upped the ante in the second-half to secure all three points.
Preston North End, meanwhile, have enjoyed a positive start to their season as they look to make improvements to their 2024-25 campaign which saw them finish 20th. They held on for a point in their goalless draw with Bristol City last time out and had goalkeeper Daniel Iversen to thank for the result as the Dane made eight saves to ensure the spoils were shared at Deepdale.
