Hull City will play host to Sheffield United at the KC Stadium on Sunday in round eight of the EFL Championship.
The Tigers head into the weekend on a run of three wins from three home games this season and will look to march on in the same vein.
Hull were sent crashing down to earth on Tuesday, though, losing 3-1 at Queens Park Rangers. That followed a 3-2 victory over Coventry City on August 27, which saw their two-game winless run come to an end.
The Tigers have picked up three wins, two draws and lost two of their seven games this season. They have collected 11 points and sit 11th in the Championship standings.
Meanwhile, Sheffield have continued their solid early form, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Reading in their last outing.
The Blades are now unbeaten in their last five games, claiming three wins and two draws since their 1-0 loss to West Bromwich Albion in the EFL Cup on August 11. Sheffield United are atop the Championship table, picking up 14 points from their opening seven games.
