Hull City will host West Bromwich Albion at the MKM Stadium on Friday in another round of EFL Championship football.
The home side have had mixed results this season but have particularly struggled for form of late, although they remain on course to avoid the drop. They were beaten 1-0 by Bristol City in their last game and could have no complaints after being second-best for most of the game.
Hull have picked up 42 points from 34 games this season and sit 16th in the Championship standings. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
West Brom began life under manager Carlos Corberan in strong fashion but have hit a rough patch of late, consequently falling behind in the race for promotion. However, they returned to winning ways last time out with a 2-0 win over in-form Middlesbrough, featuring a first-half brace from Daryl Dike.
The visitors sit mid-table in 11th place with 48 points from 33 games. They are six points behind Luton Town in the final playoff spot and will aim to reduce the gap on Friday.
