Hull City will host Wigan Athletic at the MKM Stadium on Wednesday night in another round of Championship football.
The Tigers enjoyed a positive start to their league campaign but have since lost their way, prompting the dismissal of manager Shota Arveladze just nine months after his appointment. The exit of the Georgian boss was announced hours before Hull's game against Luton Town last time out, in which they went on to lose 2-0.
Hull City have picked up just 11 points from 11 games and sit 20th in the Championship standings. They are just one point above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap this week.
Wigan Athletic, meanwhile, have enjoyed a decent return to the Championship and are pushing for the playoff spots. They picked up a 2-0 away win over fellow newly-promoted side Rotherham United in their last game, with Will Keane and Tom Naylor both getting on the scoresheet to clinch a deserved win for the Latics.
The Latics sit 10th in the league table with 16 points and will aim to add to that tally on Wednesday.
